    A friend of mine running Windows XP Pro, OE 6 can't receive image files correctly.

    Her sister send her pictures from an AOL account and the attachment is renamed to a .eml file. But OE has a message saying the attachement has been removed.

    If she send her self an email from home (outlook running on Windows XP Pro) the attachment is displayed (paper clip) in the inbox but the same message appers saying the item was removed but the image is displyed int he body of the message.

    I know there was a security patch for Outlook (inclided in Outlook XP that blocked types of attachement but not that it effected OE)

    Any ideas??

    In OE click on Tools->Options->Security tab->UNcheck Do Not Allow attachments.
