opening attachments
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

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: OLEXP: Unable to Open EML File Attachments in Outlook Express: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=312355 -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "Chuck & Carolyn Taber" wrote in message ...
