Default can't open attachments in ie 6

Queenty,

Posted to newsgroup and emailed directly to the poster of the message =
that this is a reply to.

See if this helps.

Load up Outlook Express and click on Tools/Options/Security and see if =
you've got a tick against "Do not allow attachments to be saved or =
opened that could potentially be a virus."=20

If you have then uncheck this box and you should get access to all =
attachments.
=20
Before you do this,of course,make sure that you have installed,and keep =
up-to-date,a good virus checker program.
=20
You might also find this useful.
=20
Load up Outlook Express and remove,if it's there,the tick against 'When =
Outlook Express starts, go directly to my Inbox' .
=20
Click on INBOX then right-click an empty bit of the TOOLBAR and click on =
CUSTOMIZE and find the icon called PREVIEW and double-click it to add it =
to the TOOLBAR.
=20
When you've done this you can click on the PREVIEW icon to turn on or =
turn off the PREVIEW PANE.

You can then turn it off,before you go on-line,and let all your emails =
download then delete any that look 'suspicious' - without them being =
opened when you click on their headers to highlight them before deleting =
them - then turn it back on to view the rest of them.
=20
If you're still not sure about any of the 'safe' ones then - with the =
Preview Pane still turned off - you can right-click the header and then =
click PROPERTIES/DETAILS/MESSAGE SOURCE and see what the email contains =
then decide to either delete it or open it.
