Mem,

A lot depends on (a) your e-mail program, (b) the kind of attachements giving problems (and the kind not giving problems) and (c) possibly on your anti-virus settings. And you don't disclose any of those factors.

So let's assume you use Outlook Express 6 and have it set to the default security setting of not opening potentially harmful attachments. That would explain a lot and, in fact, is the most common reason for this behaviour. Go and see in Tools>Options.

Hope this helps.
