Classic British Flight Sim

HI Guys

hoping someone can help with this:

Windows mail has suddenly started saying ''Cannot find [filename] Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again"

This happens if I receive an image in mail. If I click the paperclip (which I have always done) and select the image, I get the above message. I can save, but not view until it is saved, or I view the embedded image within the message.

Any ideas? Have not had this happen previously

Sounds strange. Did you say in that other post that you were on Dial up Jim?

I had that once in the last week but with my Netscape mail.

I tried to open the attachment and had the message you report.

Hi Guys

I'm on 10meg broadband. What's confusing is that I don't 'lose' the images - they can be seen if I scroll down the message, or if I save them, it's purely if I open as mentioned (or try to) Windows doesn't want to know. I'd reckon it's happened within the last three days.

It's also doing this with old mail in my archive folder, which did open as above when I got it. Now I need to 'save'. :think:

It sounds like its only downloading the header info. The dialer sounds like its disconnecting before its finished. What happens if you go in via webmail, are all the messages its downloaded still there?

Sorry jim, missed your last post. I think the emails your talking about are live mail "picture messages" they behave slightly differently to normal attachments.

HI Ben

My webmail will only show 'new' mail I have not accessed via POP3 (Windows mail). the server will fire out a 'new' message even if it has previously been opened in webmail. this then cleans out my webmail (Virgin Media)

The full image is actually there - it just seems to have decided not to allow access as described.

Also, as I mentioned, old emails which are on the HDD from many moons ago now exhibit the issue, so it can't be a 'download' issue (per 'new mail')

HI Ben

Sorry missed your intermediate post too

As I say, (unless something has changed) it's affecting enails in the 'style' I've always received... the real confusion is the prog not opening older attachments which it did last week for example

Now working normally - no problems - sorted itself out, so it's down to Windows going into a tantrum I suppose :roll:
