Winmail on win 10 doesn't show attachments

Hi Jose,

System files or user account corruption can cause issues when
viewing attachments on emails in Windows 10. To better assist you, we need the answers to the following questions:

• Just to verify, are you having issues with the built-in Mail app or with the
  Outlook desktop app?
• Does the issue happens when you are also logged into your web mail (Outlook.com, Gmail.com, etc.)?

In the meantime, we suggest checking the steps in this
article to troubleshoot attachment problems in Outlook.
