Re: Stripped off attachments and in-line images

Thanks Steve. I turned off email checking in AVG and suddenly it worked again. I can only assume that the SP2 update screwed AVG.
Oh well, since AVG should check and stop any viral activities on my system anyhow I suppose email checking is fairly superfluous anyhow.
Thanks

Turn off email scanning and any anti-spamware. See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 You may then need to remove your mail account, close OE, and then reopen OE and add it back again to fix what the other software screwed up.

Recently upgraded XP Home to SP2.
Since then I cannot receive attachments and in-line images.
I use Thunderbird for email, ZoneAlarm, AVG & Spyware Doctor.
Since this started happening I've attempted to receive HTML emails via Outlook Express but exactly the same happens.
Thinking it might the firewall I uninstalled ZoneAlarm and used the built in Windows Firewall - same problem. I re-installed ZoneAlarm and switched off the Windows one. Same problem!
I looked through all the config options in ZoneAlarm but can find nothing that seems to apply. All emails I receive are now in Plain Text and any attachments are stripped off. Since the emails are only 2-3k in size the images/attachments have obviously been stripped off before they get to my email program.
Any ideas most welcome
