Windows Live Mail – Word doc attachments not showing

11. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , ,

I sent a email message from my laptop with a .docx attachment via Outlook 2007 and also sent a separate email message with a .pdf attachment to my recently purchased desktop computer with Windows Live Mail. The attachment icon does not show up for the Word attachment. But the icon appears for the pdf file.  I forwarded the message with the Word file as an attachment back to my laptop. Lo and behold, this forwarded message had the Word attachment in the attachment! What is going on? I tried several more times to send the message with the attachment and the icon never shows up! The header does not indicate an attachment, therefore there is no way I can open it...I think I need to dump this Windows Live and buy Outlook 2013. Or....???

 

The message is sent HTML format. The doc extension is associated with Word on my desktop. Conversation is turned off.

 

Thanks

Unable to add attachments. Outlook – IE9

When I click on "Insert" there is an error message and Outlook temporarily shuts down. Cleared browsing history and restored advance settings, made no difference. This started when they replaced the attachment icon with "Insert". Does anyone know how to stop this foolishness? (without moving to IE10)

Imbedded pics in emails show as attachments

When I receive emails from people who have an image imbedded in their signature block, I get the attachment icon (paperclip) next to the message but it doesn't actually show as an attachment. It makes things confusing because I don't know which messages really have attachments.
