Thunderbird fails to download and open JPEG files & Doc files

Using version 31.1.1.. Thunderbird cannot download and open JPEG and Doc files. TB opens pub files, xls, PDF files and some others but not primarily JPEG and Doc files.

I get a message saying "download failed due to unknown error, please try again"

Any help would be appreciated.

you tripped me up with the download part. It was downloading fine obviously. Just not displaying as you wanted :)

have you tried that with anti virus scanning of email turned off? If not, try that.

My e-mail attachment scanning function is turned off, Thanks anyway.

Tools menu (Alt+T) > options > attachments and delete any information stored there for JPEC and doc file.
