Cannot download attachment

[svanels]

I have an attachment at Hotmail, but since microsh.. changed hotmail, it is imposible to download attachments, it only downloads the message to my computer.
Any help is welcome or should I switch over to Netscape? S. van Els

As much fun as it can be to bash Microsoft, this MAY not be Hotmail's fault. Do you have the "Email Security Update" installed? I've heard that it eats attachments that it shouldn't (Read: "nearly all&quot.
The E-zine where I head about it has many references, but here are two recent ones:
Woody's Office for Mere Mortals issues 2.07 and 2.09 (

Thanks for the links but it wasn't much help. I get this problem when I access hotmail with a browser. Systems Windows NT, Win95 and win98, no 2000 or xp.

But the links are worth reading.

Don't know if this will solve your problem - but since Microsoft changed the look of Hotmail, the attachment sits at the very top of the document in the message header under To From Date Subject. You have to actually click on the attachment name to download it. Also Hotmail will not support attachments over 1024K, so if someone has sent you a large attachment over this size, you won't get it. Hope this helps.
