Do you get any error message?
Or are you saying that the first 2-5 times you click an attachment,
nothing happens?
What type of attachments are these?
Are you perhaps receiving a forwarded message?
Nested messages (*.EML attachment files) is a common problem when
messages come from AOL, WebTV or Netscape. Some mail programs, such as
AOL, always do a Forward as Attachment. Netscape does this by default,
but the sender can do a "Forward Quoted" instead to avoid the problem.
Often the attachment includes "Content-Disposition: inline". Some mail
programs honor this. Unfortunately OE doesn't. With the exception of
images (which is controlled by Tools, Options, Read in OE4 or a registry
setting in OE5+), OE will not display attachments Inline. Instead you
have to open each attachment. If a message has been forward 10 times
you need to go down 10 levels of opening attachments.
If they are simple text messages, a quick workaround is to look at the
Message Source (Ctrl-F3).
