You need to open the Tools/Options multi-tab dialog, go to the Security Tab
and uncheck the item that says something about attachments.  This is a VERY
brain-dead algorithm; as far as I can figure, if an attachment is anything
at all but ASCII text ti prevents you from getting to it.

By the way, the attachments are probably being downloaded, you just can't
get to them.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Need some help with Outlook Express please


Hello friends;
I really don't know what I have done, but very frequently now I have to go
on the gmail server and perform a mass delete of messages due to Outlook
Express not downloading even small attachments. I've removed the check mark
specifying a particular size of message, and did all that I know about.
Is there a way to restore Outlook Express to its default or some kind of
factory setting for want of a better word. I use to download messages about
6MB as far as I could remember, but not sure what happens now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is the message I receive:
