Sorry, I was hoping Express questions was also being addressed. As far as
the attachment it is just a .jpg photo that is attached that when I open the
message, from my son, the attachment is already open. This could be a real
problem if I didn't who was sending the attachment. I looked everywhere for
a Outlook Express forum but was unsuccessful. You indicated insideoe.com, I
will give it a try. Thanks....Ralph

Hello, I am using Outlook Express Vs 6 and am puzzled. Previously when I
received an email with an attachment I merely double-clicked on the
attachment name and it would open. Now, I still get that ability but the
attachments come already open. When I scan down the message there is the
open attachment. This is not something that I want. I have looked under
Tools - Options - but nothing relative to my problem. It does allow me to
prevent attachments from opening in html emails not what I was after but
tried that, desperate as I figured this wouldn't solve my problem and it
didn't. Can anyone help me in this matter. Again this is Outlook Express
Vs
6. Thanks in advance......Ralph
