Intermittent attachment corruption

[quote user="KauaiGirl_917"]

I've been having a problem with attachments getting corrupted lately, so I tried to test it out.

 

I sent an email to myself w/ 2 word 2003 attachments.  one opened okay, the other said it needed to be repaired (which didn't work).

i forwarded that message to myself again and this time both attachments opened w/out a problem.

 

not sure why this is happening.  Any ideas?

How are you receiving your mail?  POP3?  IMAP4?  I suspect that the download may be failing to complete  properly and is missing the final closing lines.  You might try using session logging when downloading to verify the download.
