 I got several helpful responses to my previous post regarding attachments.
However, I am still having trouble.  The friend mentioned in the above
original posting showed me the emails he sent when I was at his house, and
they each showed two or more picture attachments were sent from his computer
to mine.  What I received was a grayed out, single attchment which would not
open.  

I have since had two other people try to send me attachments, one picture
attachment and one .pdf, and in each case, nothing (not even a grayed out
attachment) came through.  Not even a paper clip on the message signalling
an attachment.  

I am using Outlook Express for Mac 5.0.5.  I have checked both "Preferences"
and "Account Settings" and can find nothing amiss.  I have also checked the
filter which my ISP uses (Postini).  I am at a loss.
