Thanks for your help Shawn. My server is not stripping attachments from my mail messages. I am still having problems with the attachments however. Again, just by viewing the file1 and file2 I can see the contents of the attachments scattered among other characters (i.e. if it's a text document I can see some of the actual words here and there). Also, I see no mention of any other attachments except for file1 and file2 when I zoom into the trouble ticket. Is there a certain setting maybe somewhere that I need to set or do I need to re-install the whole application?

Thank you for any assistance.

Hi Aleem,

Okay, so those aren't attachments? Because if I open them in notepad I can actually see some text (i.e. someone sends a word doc). How then do I go about viewing the attachments?

If you have sent an attachment with your email, and your mail server has not stripped the atttachment, then it will appear in the same area as File-1 and File-2.

   Hi Aleem Mohamed,

       Hey there. I just had a question about attachments from
       incoming mail to OTRS. My problem is that when a user submits
       a new ticket bysending an e-mail to OTRS along with an
       attachment the attachment doesn't seem to display properly.
       When I zoom in on the ticket with the attachment the
       attachment is renamed to 'file-X' (i.e. file-1....no
       extension) and when I try to view it I am unable to do so. Any
       idea on how I can go about fixing this or anyone know what's
       going on exactly? Thanks for your time!

   file-1 and file-2 are special. They are the HTML portions of the
   email taht are stripped by otrs.
