I have received a few e mails recently where I can read some text, but then below that (I think where a picture should be) I see the following:

------=_NextPart_000_45b9_5f4c_19b
Content-Type: image/gif; name="CSFLYERfrnt.gif"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="CSFLYERfrnt.gif"

and then about 500 lines of seemingly random upper and lower case text characters.
Does anybody know why I can't see the e mails properly and if there is anything I can do to fix it?

Cheers!

Are you normally able to view GIF picture files?

Mattie, how did you know what the image was? Now I'm really confused!
I use Outlook to view e mails and, as far as I remember I can normally view images including gifs although this has happened a few times recently.

Hey Mattie, I've had another e mail that is the same. This time the text says:
------=_NextPart_000_4808_1af6_4a32
Content-Type: image/pjpeg; name="S6000415.JPG"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="S6000415.JPG"

Any chance you can work some magic and point me towards the photos this time???
Does anybody now how I can solve this problem. The e mails say:
This is a multi-part message in MIME format

what does all this mean? I'm just too damn confused!

Thanks for the help so far, and in advance for any further replies.
