Email attachments will not open

Running Windows XP on a Dell Inspiron. Email attachments will not open on any emails, they will open in IE. In the past it would only happen on once in a while but then it would just be a gray box where a pic would be. Now no attachments will open.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== End op April 2010

Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions - See [[Options window - Content panel]]
A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (''Site Identification'' icon) on the left side of the location bar and click the "More Information" button.
This will open the Security tab of the ''Page Info'' window (also accessible via Tools > Page Info).
Go to the ''Media'' tab of that Page Info window.
Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow.
If an image is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box ''Block Images from...'' then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

XfinityConnect Email attachments will not drag and drop.

DATE (yyyy-mm-dd) : 2015-04-10 15:00PM Email attachments will not drag and drop. This feature was working for years, then suddenly I only can attach files to an Email by opening up the directory browser to.... aaarg... go get one - file - at - a - time, or zip 'em up for the one fetch, yet still... drag and drop is soooooo much better. Specifications:Using XfinityConnect 'full' version.Do not use an email client.Browser/version Windows Explorer V11Cleared browser cache.Operating system: Windows 7 Ultimate

I have the same complaint. Drag and drop worked until last week, 2015-04-05! Must now do one at a time through the ATTACH button at top of E-mail. Why change a good process?

Since updating to iOS 6.0.1, email app will not open and other problems.

Help! Since updating my phone to iOS 6.0.1, my email app will not open, my email/contacts/calendar settings will not open, my touchscreen is unresponsive, my battery is draining in two hours time, and my delete button only works one letter at a time (can't hold down to delete easily). I've done a soft reset and I've restored twice to no avail. This is a MAJOR problem! I'm not wanting to pay for the apple care since this may result in upgrading to the iPhone 5 (last option) and the closest apple store is an hour and a half from me.

This seems to be a common problem.
I am suffering too!
It would seem to be very shoddy from apple to allow such problems.
Not the first issue since upgrade to iOS 6.....think home button problems.
Has anybody got news of a fix?

My mum has an iPad 1, the email programme will not open properly. If you click on the icon it opens only for a few seconds but then shuts. In that few seconds you cant select anything that you see on screen. Any ideas? Thanks

If the Reset Ian mentioned doesn't work...
Shut down and restart the Mail app...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red to delete the Mail app from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
- Restart the Mail app

When I get attachments in my email, they will not open when I click on them.

When I am on the internet, videos, click-ons all open immediately. I had to go to the internet to get to your site, because when I clicked on the "Help" at the bottom of my Thunderbird account, it would not open.
In a nutshell, if I get an email from a group that says "click here for more info" or if I click the
"play arrow "on the u tube video etc. It will not open and/or play. This is only happening in my email account.

Thunderbird does not play video. You need to correct software to open the file types you are being sent.

Attachments will not open in Treo

Using Adobe standard 8.1 and MS Office 07. When I open a PDF file and send it to someone on their treo phone using the email button, it will not open. They get a message "Cannot view attachment". Here's the rub. If I open outlook and manually attach the file and send it, there's no problem. This takes a longer amount of time and I'm sending dozens of emails out a day, so it's definately more than just a small inconvenience. The second part of this is that another workstation that has the exact same setup (purchased and sat up the same time as this one was) is not having the problem. We've compared settings page by page for both Acrobat and MS Outlook and both are identicle. I'm pulling my hair out on this one... Can anyone offer a suggestion?

This is a property of the e-mail client and I have avoided Outlook like a plague for years (particularly every since Bill Gates was saying something about security and Outlook was one of the major culprits). There should be an option that says to encode ALL attachments as MIME or such. If you leave it up to Outlook, it may interpret the PDF as ASCII because the first few characters are ASCII. I faintly remember this was a problem with Outlook a few years back. It might also be something that would be corrected with an update to Outlook if it was indeed a "bug" in Outlook. Since I am not an Outlook user, I am only suggesting that it may be the likely problem.
Sorry I can't help more on a fix.

Email links will not open in my Firefox browser

Hello, Using my Firefox web browser when I am in my emails. Inside the email body and there is a link to click on inside. The Firefox will not open the link page, it comes up as an error. However, if i right click and open in a new window. Firefox will then open the link and send me to that page.
I then decided to try IE and when I double click the link within the email body, it opens it up with no issues at all.
Firefox is my default browser.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Two days ago

Hello,
I have checked all the above trouble shooting suggestions. I still am having the same problem.
I use Firefox as my default browser and have it checked off as per your last email. I am only having this problem in my emails. I cannot open url links in my emails anymore by double clicking on the mouse. I have to right click the mouse and choose open in a new window. It will then open that url link and take me to the website link.
If I try this by double clicking the url link, it takes me to a blank page with this "https://mail.go....er=ohh14rw8mbn4"
at the top of the page in the tab.

Photos will not open in email, photos will not open in email

no settings changes, but ipad air will not open photos att. to email. mac emails open, ipad 2 opens same photos just fine.
This is an overnight change- what caused it?
Air also seems to crash far more often than ipad 2.
Any solution faster than restoring factory settings and reloading? Most important, how to prevent this irritation from recurring?
Thanks for help responders!

Another update,
Seems to have something to do with size. The photos I was sending were all over 1mb. When I send a photo that is only a few hundred kilobytes it works fine.
Some setting prehaps with the iPhone?
Larger photos are fine with the iPad I tried.

After updating to iOs 7 mp4 videos as email attachments do not open

After updating to iOs 7, video files in .mp4 format, that I receive from my wifi camera at home by email as attachments do not open. In the email it says "touch to download", but nothing happens when I do. Needless to say that before the update, all videos were being opened upon touching on the attachment.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Once again, I wasn't criticizing. I am curious. I don't understand why people are interested in this feature and would like to know why so that I can possibly make better suggestions. But, if rather than answer a simple question, you want to cast aspersions, obviously you're not the person I should be asking.
Best of luck.

Attachments will not open with Adobe Reader

Just yesterday, email attachments sent in PDF form will no longer open. The window will open, display no content then immediately closes. Ive tried every tutorial available through the Adobe website.
Anyone have any suggestions?

What is your operating system?
What is your Reader version?
What is your email client?
Does this also happen when you open an existing local PDF?

MS Word email attachments do not open on my E6

When I receive a MS Word attachment via email and try to open it, I get a "Unable to open. Attachment file not supported" message. When I use QuickOffice and access my Dropbox, I can open any document and make edits. Does anyone have an idea what could be happening? Just some background info, here in the US the MS App update and Belle Refresh has not been made available so I working with initial Belle release to the E6.

have you tried downloading and using Picsel Smart Office that is available in the Nokia Store for your device? I used that on my N8 on Belle and found it to be much better than MS Apps / Office and QuickOffice.

IPhone Email Alerts Will Not Open Message

Having odd problem with alerts on my iPhone 4s. Whenever I receive an email alert in the lock screen, swiping it, then entering my password, always opened the message. Now, however, it will only open the aplication and I have to select the inbox and then the message to read it. Would appreciate any suggestions on how this might be resolved. I made no changes to my notifcations or settings, which makes this even more mysterious! Thanks in advance for your help.
