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.

Cannot open .gif files in OE, no problem .jpg files however. I get this
error message
"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this
action. Create an association in Folder Option Control Panel." Have no
problem if I want to copy the file to my picture folder, but would like to
see what it is before I copy it.
I'm using WinXP SP2, IE7 and OE6, it's not a big problem but quite
annoying.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
