unable to open CAB's from email? - HD2 General

I sent a Cab as an attachment in email and received it on the HD2, but when I tried to open it the reply was; "The attachment is of a file type that could be unsafe.Messaging will not open this attachment."
Do I need to unlock first? I am trying to do this without syncing to a computer? as I am on the road and unable to do so?

save it first, dont try opening it from within the mail.

make sure its fully downloaded, longpress on attachment link, "save as.."

Can't download email attachment

I have my AOL email account set up on my phone. I tried emailing myself a theme (.tsk file) from my desktop computer, but when I try to open the attachment, I get the following messaging error:
The attachment is of a file type that could be unsafe. Messaging will not open this attachment.
Anyone know how I can get around this. I'm using vp3G's WM6 3.6.02 ROM if that makes any difference.

solved?
yes
save the attachment first, the open the item from the main memory or storage card.
this happens if i try to send a .exe or a dll via email!

PDF Email Attachments

Hello all:
Has anyone seen this problem?
I can download and open any windows email attachment but when I try to open a pdf attachment I get the error message. "The attachment cannot be found. Download the attachment again?"
It's like it never really downloaded it.
I do have a pdf viewer and can open and view pdf's that I copy and paste into my Wing.
Thanks
Never mind
I got it.
After you download it (tap and hold) on the attachment, then a "Save As" pops up. Then simple put it where you want it. After that your app can open it.

Email attachments

Hi when I 1st got the phone I was able to receive and open email attachments. Since Xmas for some reason unknown to me I've been unable to do so. I've now found where the attachments are downloaded to. My Device>Windows>Messaging. All the attachments do not have any icons next to them and when you click them a message block pops up saying. "There is no application associated with ..file name..Run the application 1st , then open this file from within the application"
When i go to open a file in Excel I can't even access the file My Device>Windows>Messaging
There is no setting to download attachments to another folder so I can access them.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Pete

[Q] Non-Image E-Mail Attachments?

I think I might be missing something here..
I've been trying to send a non-image file I have on my Xoom to a friend via the stock e-mail client and when I try to add an attachment it opens the "Gallery" as opposed to a file explorer like I would have expected (also side question, is there a default file explorer on the Xoom?) and the only files available for selection are images stored on the device.
Anyone have similar behavior or a work around to attach non-image files to an e-mail using the stock client?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Install Astro file manager and it will give you the option to browse files.
