Tools | Options | Security. Uncheck: "Do not allow
attachments................."

If that is not the answer, please elaborate. Your post is very vague. What
are the file extensions? Can you open them if you save them to your HDD
first?

What is your Windows version? What is your OE version? [In OE | Help |
About, scroll down to msoe.dll and post the numbers you see there].
