I get jpeg and video attachments that turn into an email icon when I try to download them, anyone else have a problem like this?

On my new iPad email I have an attachment download problem that started shortly after downloading the latest iOS system. When i receive an email with a picture or video file it has a dashed line around it. When I touch it to download it to view it the icon changes to a mail message icon hen the download completes. Then when I touch it again to open it a new mail message opens up with the attachment there to be sent to someone else.

Thank you for replying cor-el.
You actually brought up a good point I forgot to mention.
I tried using forward slashes and other variations in the same manner, and they all didn't work in Firefox, but worked in Chrome and I.E.
Taking the example:
file:///\\svr-1\folder1\folder2\file.jpg
I also tried:
file://///svr-1\folder1\folder2\file.jpg
file://///svr-1/folder1/folder2/file.jpg
file://svr-1\folder1\folder2\file.jpg
file://svr-1/folder1/folder2/file.jpg
These links didn't work embedded in an email or on a webpage. For the case of the webpage, when the mouse cursor is hovering over the links, the jump bar indicates the correct link, but when clicked, nothing happens. When the links are copied and pasted into the address bar, they work.
Thanks again.
