Description

[Alberto Vinocur]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212

Problem happen with ALL messages that I receive but only with Mozilla and
I had to return to use MS Outlook Explorer (which I hate but does not have this
problem) under Windows 2000 version O.S. which I usually use only for
engineering programs that does not run under Linux).

I had also repeat Windows and Mozilla installation some times but the problems
continue. 

I can not inform about possibly incidence of the problem with Linux because I
had problems with 2 of 3 HDs and I can not use that OS at the moment.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Sorry I do not know. I just receive e-mails containing attachments without them.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
I have some familiar accounts and I tried sending e-mails from one of them to
the oders, always with the same result (attachments dissapear) in Mozilla but
are present in Outlook Express.


I am using modern theme but I always used this and I had not observed this
problem in older versions of Mozilla (neither under Linux nor under Windows).
I shall try Classic but I can not do it inmediately.
I am using a compatible PC; genuine Intel Pentium III; 750 MHz; RAM 256 K; using
2 of 3 HDs at once by means of mobile racks; at the moment 1.44 floppy but
usually an LS 120; external paralel Iomega Zip 100; external standard V.34
Siemmens-Nixdorf MultiModem.
I do not know if it will be usefull, but I can inform that It is impossible to
open messages clicking twice on them (a windows opens but it is always empty,
and again it does not happen with Outlook Express and did not happen with older
versions of Mozilla).
