Attachments to AOL mail (not software based)

I am on a list and our "leader" sends out posts with attachments

Here is how he sends it.

" I use Microsoft Outlook ( office 2003) as my e-mail system. My attachments are usually Word or Excel documents (sometimes a pdf that should be accessible through acrobat reader). I’ve also been zipping my files sending both zipped and unzipped versions."

I simple get his regular messages but anytime he sends an attachment there is no link, no indication of even having an attachment. I know it is being sent because he says he sends it and most of the others on his list get it and can open it.

I love to solve mysteries. I have googled this. I have asked AOL for help. I am literally going nuts trying to figure this one out. I even went to my comcast account and it does not come there either. I am wondering if there might be something about my computer that is not processing or recognizing his kind of attachments.

Any help, ideas would be appreciated. I do not use aol software just their web mail service.
