You have to save an attachment to your HDD first. Now go to where you saved
it and Right Click | Open With. You won't get that option when trying to
open it in the e-mail.

When I right click "Open With" doesn't appear, just "Open", which opens
the
attachment then I click open and that's when I get the Message I showed in
my
first post. I tried going to Control Panel and opening Folder Options,
but I
don't understand what I suppose to do when I get there.

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.
