What kind of attachment is it? Do you have the proper software to read that file type?
Have the sender verify and re-send the attachment?
If it is the email itself, it may be corrupt. Have the sender re-send the email.
If it is a personal folder file, run the "inbox repair tool"
If it is the mailbox itself, (or even a pst) go to help -- detect and repair.
Look for disabled add-ins that may be needed -- help -- about Outlook -- disabled items
other than that, please be much more specific
