Recently upgraded XP Home to SP2.
Since then I cannot receive attachments and in-line images.
I use Thunderbird for email, ZoneAlarm, AVG & Spyware Doctor.
Since this started happening I've attempted to receive HTML emails
via
Outlook Express but exactly the same happens.
Thinking it might the firewall I uninstalled ZoneAlarm and used the
built in Windows Firewall - same problem. I re-installed ZoneAlarm
and
switched off the Windows one. Same problem!
I looked through all the config options in ZoneAlarm but can find
nothing that seems to apply. All emails I receive are now in Plain
Text
and any attachments are stripped off. Since the emails are only 2-3k
in
size the images/attachments have obviously been stripped of before
they
get to my email program.
Any ideas most welcome

Use Outlook Express to subscribe to some Microsoft Newsgroups for XP.
You might find lots of people there had problems updating.

My OE6 has a Read Tab in the Options app. that sometimes gets checked
(Read all messages in Plain Text), during an update. Thunderbird must
have such an option too.

Does your ZoneAlarm have MailSafe checked? That could cause the
problem. Turn off Email scanning in AVG. That can cause lots of
problems. Your emails will still be protected. Give Google a try,
and checkout the Microsoft Newsgroups. Good luck.
