Email Attachments showing up as 0 bytes

I am receiving email from one individual and all his attachements are showing up as 0 byte files.

If i download the messages using netscape or view them using OSX Servers webmail, the attachments can be downloaded fine. But will Mail.app you can't download or save his attachments.

Looking at the raw source, everything appears to be there.

Kevin, when you press the save button in that mail, does it indeed save as zero bytes?

When you press the save button the only option is save all, nothing appears to happen when it is selected.

Also when you press icon that expands the list of attachment(s) no further file names etc are displayed, even though to the right it says 1 attachment, 0 bytes.

As I said earlier this is only happening to emails received from one sender. He is using some version of OSX Mail, but I cant tell you what version or any other system info on his setup.

Kevin
