Thanks a million...Changing the eml setting in 'my computer' solved the
problem. Still don't understand how it got changed to my media player. If
you play the lottery, I hope you hit the big one. You made my
day.....Chuck T.

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
