I unchecked that box in Security and still no difference. I never had this problem before Vista !

This doesn’t work for me. Vista pro here. Still can’t get attachments.

Actually I was wrong. I am getting attachments, but the icon that represents them (the paperclip) is the same color as the background, making it invisible. Is there any way to change the icon color?
