ok, why would the attachment symbol be on the email if there is no attachment with the email after opening?

if the attachment is a text file that is being displayed inline?

Even though your mail icon says that you have email, it doesn't mean that you have it, because your inbox updates faster than the small icon there. Therefore, it still thinks that you have email and you refresh it and it should go away.

That attachment is for formatting a message.  No need to view the file itself.  If you were using Thunderbird to read emails, likely it would display properly.

probably spam, you should delete it without opening the attachments. Also look out for phishing, the emails that look legit but ask for personal info or credit card info. If in doubt go back to the company themselves instead of answering the email.\n\nRule of thumb: if it's suspicious, don't open the email if possible, don't open the attachments and don't click on any link.

it looks like the email was parsing an executable file called love_lorn.kiss.ok.exe ... sounds like a virus!  i wouldn't download the attachment if I were you... sounds like a virus to me

That would be according to the mail client...Each uses a different symbol.

You might try sending it to some account that you'd read from the internet (ex. Yahoo or Gmail). Sometimes I had similar problems, but never when reading attachment from internet mail accounts.\nMost of the time, I think it occurs when you have a programme like Outlook, Thunderbird, Eudora, etc. That can't understand your sender's mail format.

Make sure your e-mail client software isn't using a default stationery.  You may have accidentally set up a blank default stationery that has a bunch of "Return" characters in it.  \n\nGood luck!

It might still exist in one of your temporary directories.  Go to the email and try to determine the name of the attachment (don't reopen it or save it!). Then search your hard drive for the name of the file. If you find it, copy it to My Documents. You have a good chance of recovering it.

They only scan the attachments for virus and spam, and only web e-mail aplications do this; (like yahoo or hotmail)...but if you want to open a file that comes in an E-mail, you need to have the program for that type of file installed in your computer, in order for you to been able to open it.For example if you got a ".jpeg" file as attachment, chances are that Windows alredy assing Internet Explorer to open this type of file by default.

yes. Im also facing this problem when I receive mails with Embedded images.\n\nIn such a case, ask the sender to resend the images as atatched files and not as Embedded images as yahoo doen't support that sometimes.

it means that person no longer has that email or the email was typed in wrong :)

as far as i know, u can't remove it. just avoid emails that don't look safe. attatchment names like " here is the file", and subject lines like "your file is attatched".

If you are using outlook express, go to tools, options, security tab, see if the box next to "Do not allow attachment..." is checked, if yes uncheck it and click ok.
