Can't view attachments

I have always been able to either view or download attachments in my emails.  All of a sudden I can no longer just view pdfs. I get an error message saying I have to download.  This happens on every device that I read my emails on.

It is a known issue and a ticket has been made.  No ETA on a fix, however.

Thanks for confirming, @user_ibxv5a. This is a known issue as mentioned by our expert. Our engineering team is working to get this issue resolved. Currently, you should still be able to download the attachment to view it. I apologize for the inconvenience and we hope to have this resolved soon!
