Sounds strange. Maybe there is an attachment but your security settings do not
allow you to access it. If so and assuming that you're using Outlook Express,
try this:

Launch OE then click on Tools > Options > Security [tab]. Under Virus Protection
section, UNCHECK "Do not allow attachments.....", then click on the Apply & OK.

You may have to close & restart OE to effect the change.

If no joy, post back with info regarding the e-mail application you're using.
