Re: Embedded links in emails turning into Email Attachments

Hi David,

Sometimes "toggling" a setting will help. Do you get the same behavior if
Read Messages in Plain Text is selected? It could be something peculiar to
the fanfiction e-mails that I'm not familiar with or some other reason.
Someone else will likely join in to help with the correct answer.

No - the 'Read all messages in plain text' is not turned on.

Hi David,

This may be normal behavior, but the delay is surprising. In OE Tools,
Options, Read tab is read messages in Plain Text selected? Reading in
Plain
Text will convert HTML content into an attachment that can be opened in
the
browser or selected from the message View menu.

I have an unusual problem - I am currently using Outlook Express 6.0 under
Windows XP (SP2 with all the latest patches) and what happens is that on
some
(note some) emails with embedded links (for example email updates from
some
fanfiction sites) turn suddently from normal emails with embedded link
into
email with attachments. The attachements when open turn into what should
have
been in the email message. This is an urgent problem as it drives me crazy
when it happens to some but not all emails and can cause problems in
accessing some work-related emails with embedded links). Please
Help!!!!!!!!!!
