Do you mean that you *download*the*attachment* from that server
to your computer, and then open it locally on your computer,
or that the "web server" itself interprets it,
and then displays it in your web browser?

I've tried both. I use Eudora to download the message and attachments
to my hard disk, then open with Acrobat Reader and get blank pages.
Or I use Firefox to go to my inbox on the server and open the
attachment there, still in Firefox, and get the text.

Could it have been marked (by the sender) as if text, say, and not binary?

How do I tell if it is so marked or not?

Can you see the "MIME headers" of the original message?

Is the following what you had in mind?
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary="------=_Next_Part_3011653798.529"

(what "server website,"

My institution provides a web-based interface with the mail server so
I can use a browser to see mail in my inbox.

and does it provide a "raw" view
of the original message?)

If "raw" means something like this --
<x-html><!x-stuff-for-pete base="" src="" id="0" charset="/
macintosh"><HTML><HEAD><style type="text/css">body {font-family:
arial, sans-serif;}</style></HEAD><BODY><P>Here is an itemised
itinerary for your forthcoming travel arrangements for booking
reference CPF004643465, a copy of which you may want to leave with a
friend or relative.</P><P>Have a pleasant trip<P><P>
-- then I can see that after downloading via Eudora, but not when the
message is in the Inbox.

Does this help with a diagnosis? Thanks for your interest.
John
