What type of attachment?

Save the attachment to your HDD. Right click on it and Open With | Choose
Program. Find and choose a program that works and then check the box: Always
use this program to open this kind of file. This should enable you to open
these attachments in the future.

Also if it is an eml attachment:

I am using OE6 and just recently started having problems opening any
attachments in my email. When I click on the attachment, my Windows Media
Player attempts to open the attachment. Of course it doesnt work. How can I
switch the opening process back to OE??

Thanks
Chuck
