Hi
I'm having issues with email attachments on my Android tablet. Emails from one domain don't have their attachments, but the ones from other sources do. It's fine on my phone; I can open attachments fine. Is there some setting on the tablet that I may have accidentally changed?

What email client are you using on both the phone and tablet John? I assume the attachments are visible in Webmail?

Hi Bob
I'm using the generic ones that came with the devices. I haven't looked at web mail vyet. I'll try tomorrow on the lap top.

OK. So web mail is fine. I can pick up attachments. And I can on my phone. It's just on the tablet, and only from one source.

Do you know what email client/service is the source using to send you these attachments?

Hi Bob
It only applies to emails sent to me from the school where I am a governor, which is especially irritating, because as you can imagine, I get a lot of emails with attachments from them. I suspect they are using some form of Outlook with an Exchange server, but that's just a guess.

Was wondering if it was something I could look to replicate but it doesn't sound like it is. There shouldn't be any issues receiving from outlook/Exchange clients.
Perhaps it's something to do with how the files are being attached to the emails. I know Outlook allows the sending of emails in rich text format, and where this is used, attachments get embedded in the body of the message like this:
Maybe, the stock Android client on the tablet has difficulty parsing such messages?
Other than that, I'm a little out of ideas so it might be worth trying another email client.
Personal recommendations include K9 Mail (functional) and Cloudmagic (pretty).

Very odd. I get an email from the school this morning, complete with attachment! I haven't changed anything, and apparently neither has the school.
