I am having problems with Mac Mail

It does not appear to register some .doc attachments. All other attachments work fine?


If I log in via the yahoo website they are there and via my phone but Mac mail 5.3 does not even show the paperclip


Please help

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.7)

Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...


Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.


Move this Folder to the Desktop...


/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/


Move this file to the Desktop...


/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index


Reboot.


Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.
