Can't view messages forwarded as attachments. - attachment.JPG (0/1)

I have recently developed a problem viewing(opening) messages that
were forwarded as attachments. The message will show the little paper
clip in the message list pane indicating that the message has an
attachment. When I open up the message, by double clicking, The
"Attachments:" line is visible but no attachments are listed. At the
right of the attachment line are two small up/down scroll arrows as if
there were several attachments present, but nothing happens when I
click on the scroll arrows. If I click on the blank "Attachments:"
line, I get an "object could not be found error". This appears to
only occur with attachments that are forwarded messages. Regular
attachments like .jpg's go thorough fine. I have tried TweakOL to
make sure that all extensions are allowed. I have relaxed my security
settings and they do not appear to be the problem.

I am using Outlook 2002 on a Windows XP machine. I use Active Sync
with an Ipag PDA. I have used the RSS reader NewsGator which is an
Outlook addin. Uninstalling it doesn't help. I have used Ornic's
CSaveAtt to save some Outlook attachments. Uninstalling it does not
help. I have tried to read the same messages with Outlook Express and
initially experienced the same problem. However, I was able to solve
the problem in Outlook Express by going to Tools/Options/Security and
clearing the check at "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened
that could potentially be a virus".

Anyone have any suggestions?
