Description too vague.

A plain text email can't fail to open so you must be referring to attached files that OSX can't associate with a specific application. So you must determine the file creator(s) then install suitable software that can open the file(s).

For example, a PC user kept sending me files with extension ".wpd". I tracked this down to "WordPerfect" and I was able to download and install the free "NeoOffice" to open the .wpd files.
