Outlook Express Attachments

[mistertee49]

I am using Windows XP Pro with IE. When ever I get mail through Outlook Express with an attachment, I can't open them. If they are sent to my Yahoo address, they always open. What is happening with Outlook that I can't open them. Help please!!

You may need to check your setting in Outlook Express to make sure you can view attachments. Check under Tools, Options, then Security. You should see something about attachments. Also, it could be something with your antivirus software.

i would strongly recommend you ditch both internet exploder, i mean explorer, and outlook express. use firefox for internet and thunderbird for e-mail. they are both available from www.mozilla.org. using those two programs will not only improve your surfing and e-mailing experience, but they are also much more secure than ie and oe so you will cut out about half the amount of spyware and viruses you get.

Thanks superfly. I will check it out. I have never had anything but IE. Maybe you can message me about it. Will I have to make any changes to my computer than downloading it? Thanks for you help.
