have you tried that with anti virus scanning of email turned off? If not, try that.

My e-mail attachment scanning function is turned off, Thanks anyway.

Tools menu (Alt+T) > options > attachments and delete any information stored there for JPEC and doc file.

That did the trick.. Thanks much ;-)

you tripped me up with the download part. It was downloading fine obviously. Just not displaying as you wanted :)

actually the files never downloaded. they would start to download then the error message would come up. Thanks much for the help..
