Mike, I use Thunderbird & have used Outlook Express in the past, and
both are able to download all attachments from the news server. Perhaps
you can try the xnews support first.

yes...outlook express does seem to work okay. xnews offers some different
options that I prefer, but doesn't seem to deal with attachments from
autodesk discussion groups well. it does fine with attachments from other
groups, though.

Is there someone from Autodesk that I can direct this problem to?

You could try:

More likely it's an issue with the news reader - you might want to
contact xnews support and point them to the server/message you are
having a problem with.
