153387 2003-06-18 09:59:00 I have Home XP and when I receive emails from people I know who have sent me attachments, why does OE always remove them so I can't open them?? I know to be very careful with attachments but it is quite rediculous coz I cant even open photos that are sent to me. starfish (3019)

Have a good day

153389 2003-06-18 10:16:00 thanks, that was straight forward and even I could do it!!!
Just one more thing, when I receive an email and don't want to open it just delete it, how do I do this without it opening up?
When I click on it it seems to open up before I have a chance to delete??

153390 2003-06-18 10:23:00 For a start in OE go to View > Layout and uncheck the Preview Pane if you have it enabled. Some viruses will execute just by being previewed by OE.

The file should not open unless single left click is enabled to open files under folder options in Windoze. Otherwise right click and choose delete. You can check a emails return addresses and some content by choosing Properties > Details tab > Meassage Source.
