I have come across some weird behavior that doesn't make any sense. It
occured on a machine running windows xp pro with office xp pro.
1st message - Received an email with an MS Word attachment (file.doc).
The message had a note in italics stating that a file had been
attached and the message properties also showed that a file was
attached, but when the message was opened no attachment is shown and
there are no messages saying that it had been removed by outlook. Had
the sender resend the attachment.
2nd message - Received and opened message. Attachment icon is there
and attachment is opened and then closed. All seemed fine but opened
the message again later that day and the attachment icon has
disappeared. (Message properties still show that there is a file
attached though). Changed setting in windows folder options to show
hidden files and it reappeared although I think it was a coincidence
because it disappeared again later.
When I clicked on forward the message the attachment icon reappeared.
Sent the message to myself and when it arrived the icon was again
missing. Tried forwarding the original message one more time but added
a second file (of a different type) to it. When the message arrived it
showed both of the file attachments properly. Absolutely bizarre.
If anyone has seen this or something similar I would love to know what
is going on.
Thanks
