[Macpartners] Attachment annoyances

[Marion Leeds Carroll]

Hi
I have a MacBook Pro for MIT, and a plain MacBook for my home life. My personal email goes only to my home Mac, but I allow my MIT work email goes to both.

Attachments are undependable on my MIT machine: Yesterday, for instance, I received the same message in both places, and the attachments I needed arrived at "home" - but not at "MIT".  I ended up sending the message to "MIT" from "Home", and finally had the attachments where I needed them.

More maddening:  when I got back to "MIT" today, the original email had the attachments that were missing yesterday.

I have other attachment annoyances:  if anyone sends me an attachment, everything below the attachment arrives attached as either a pdf or a Dreamweaver file.  To read the entire email, I have to open this "web page" attachment and translate it into the text that the sender was trying to send me - even if all that's actually there in the html is </body>.

Is this something I just have to live with?  It's been going on for a long time, and it has caused some problems with my work... and it only seems to be happening in my MIT MacBook Pro, not my home MacBook.

Thanks!
Marion
