Yesterday, I experienced a new problem with Entourage X. I could not open any attached files (even though I have the appropriate applications to open them.) They come through looking okay, like a PDF or Word document or whatever, but when I either double click on them or save them and try to open from within the appropriate application, I get a message that the file could not be opened.
I thought perhaps it was just an Entourage problem. I rebuilt its database and got rid of a bunch of old e-mail. No luck.
So I switched to Mail. That worked okay for half a day, and now the exact same problem is occurring in Mail.
I can retrieve mail attachments if I use webmail programs. However, this is not a good long term solution as I need to archive and organize my e-mails.
Since it affects both programs I think it is a system software issue. However I do not have any idea of how to fix it.
I am running Tiger and have downloaded all of the updates.
