Hi Graeme If that doesn't work, the other thing you can try is for her to log into the Gmail account online (i.e. in Safari for example from www.gmail.com ) and then re-forward the message to herself. Sometimes if the message gets "stopped" when it's downloading, it's doesn't get the all important "finishing command" so it gets all the information it just doesn't know how to place it all together. So by resending it, and then re-receiving it, hopefully it should then come through fine.
Just another way to try as well. Let us know how it goes.
