When I receive an e-mail with an attachment and I try to print the
attachment I get the message,"there were too many arguments".  What
does that mean?

This is not going to be easy without knowing something about your OS,
mail s/w and printing s/w and what actions you are using to drive that
s/w.

Try saving the attachment first and then open it and print it.  I've
had problem printing attachments directly from some email clients and
this always has worked for me.

Often right-clicking on the attachment and selecting "save" or "save
as" and then selecting where to save it (desktop or My Documents) will
do the trick.  Then just go there and open it and try printing.

let me know if this works and I will post it as the answer.

Thanks!
