Ipad2 won't open attachments in mail app

I have an iPad 2 on 5.0.1. I am unable to open photos, docs or PDF files that are sent to me via email. These same files open fine on my iPhone and Mac.


On the iPad the attachments have an arrow on them. One click on it and a fast wheel spins but nothing opens. A click and hold does nothing.


What am I missing here?

Try to press Home button 2 times, (you'll open the multitask bar)

- press the Mail icon for 3 seconds and then, press the ➖ button.

- Open the Mail app again.


If this don't work, try to power off, then on your iPad.
