No, they're human generated emails from a home business user on AOL. It's a 
graphics company, so it's quite possibly a Mac client (probably Thunderbird).

It works fine forwarded anywhere, as long as the second mailbox isn't opened in 
Outlook.

Of course, it works fine on our mailboxes here, as long as we don't use Outlook.

Sounds to me like this is a server generated email and the application is not 
building the message correctly.

What if you forward that same email to a web mail client like gmail?

Hmmm, good questions!!


When I save as a .msg, there's no attachment visible.


When I save as html, the attachment is mentioned  "Attachments: 
PurchaseOrderForm_Nov2009.pdf"

There's no link to open it, but there isn't one with a normal attachment either.

Hmm, what if you save the message to your hard drive from Outlook? Is the 
attachment there? and say not a small (text only) message?

Can you view source of the message body (assuming it's HTML)? If the attachment 
landed outside the body tags <body> foo </body> it may not be visible to the 
recipient. Had issues with a script placing disclaimers in E2003 that failed to 
read body tags correctly.

Thanks for everyone's responses.

We're not getting the "outlook is blocking access" messages, so I don't think 
that's the problem. The latest attachments were .pdfs and I haven't seen 
Outlook block them.

We're not seeing the "cannot open" messages that usually come with a securetemp 
folder problem. Clearing that folder hasn't helped.

My best guess so far (and it's a pretty big guess) is that the attachments are 
somehow being attached in a way that Outlook can't handle.

Further testing has proved that the attachments show up in OL 2007, as well as 
OWA. They're invisible in OL 2002 and OL 2003.

I've seen Excel documents posted into email created with Word as the email 
editor, cause the excel object only show up when using Word as the Editor to 
read also.

Outlook blocking the attachment? You can define level1/level2 attachments so 
they are not accessible or not visible to the recipient. You may see an alert 
on the top of the message "attachments have been removed.." when trying to 
access these attachments.

Finally, AV scanner?

This one has me stumped.  We're an Exchange 2007 shop with Outlook clients on 
every version known to man.

We've recently received several emails from a customer using AOL. They've 
attached small (~15K) pdfs to the emails. The attachments are properly received 
by the Exchange server and they show up and open just fine in OWA.

They DON'T appear in either Outlook 2002 or Outlook 2003. No icon in the folder 
view, no attachment when they open the email. The email itself opens fine, it 
just looks like the sender forgot the attachment.

Ideas?

Steve
