Hello E, When the email opens are you able to read any part of the email? If you are is there a box that shows the attachment file? If so, does it show an extension, i.e., .doc, .jpg etc? The extension tells you what program you have to use to read the attachment. It doesn't sound like you are bringing your email in through Outlook Express...correct?

My niece sent me an attachment to her email. I am using Windows XP on my main computer. On my laptop I am using Windows 7. It opens in Windows 7 OK but in XP it is just a bunch of small boxes. What do I have to do to get it to open in XP? I tried different encoding but can't seem to find a right one or will I be able to open it in XP? Any and all help appreciated. Remember you are talking to a computer semi-illiterate person here aka an proud senior citizen :-) Thanks. "E" -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
