When someone forwards me attachments, GIF, JPG, MPEG whatever, I get them as an attachment but they are basically garbage. I get an attachment icon showing a big green question mark saying Attachment: 1
When they are also sent to my other mail account using M$ Outlook they come out ok. If I then save them to a file, create a new message and re-send them to my KDE Kmail account they come out ok.
Eric forwarded me an example off-list. The attachments are ms-tnef (Microsoft Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format), and kmail can't handle it. I found a program called Fentun that claims to be able to handle it, but I've never tried it. My best suggestion is that you ask people that mail you to use real email, and not allow Microsoft to monopolize email. If you still absolutely must be able to read it, look at http://www.linux.org/apps/AppId_3458.html regards Anders
