Hi I am using Office 365 Outlook.
After replying to an email containing an attachment, I can no longer view the attachment. I have tried setting the inbox to show individual messages, not as a conversation (by going to Inbox, filter, show as, messages), but it still seems to be keeping the messages in a conversation (for example, the email with the attachment that has gone missing shows up in the email chain, but when I scroll down to the date it was received, it is missing.
Can you please tell me the best way to resolve this?

Has there been a fix to this? My new job uses outlook and many coworkers are CC'd in emails. If one person responds to an email with an attachment with a "thank you" or whatever, I can no longer view the attachment/parts quote.
In following the steps suggested by the tech guy above, I was able to restore attachments. I had to go to old version of outlook to follow the steps suggest. I also turned on the attachment preview and conversations grouped....I now have them in the same thread, whereas before they were just gone.
Seems like this worked. I turned a couple off and then back on again.
Why would they give instructions only for the app? Half the time Microsoft replies with solutions only for the traditional web-based version, other times for the new web-based version, and yet other times for the app! I cannot understand why there are so many separate options for accessing Outlook that have such different interfaces and rules. Please respond to customers with responses that take into consideration their points of view and access needs, not those of Microsoft developers.
not at all helpful. There is no option for this on my version.
My solution (I am confident it is not uncommon) is that I am going to switch to Thunderbird, and if that does not keep my attachments, I will try another (does gmail work properly?)
this has been a crazy waste of time.
