Hello Group.

I am running XP home and Outlook Express 6. For some reason
I am unable to open attachments. The OPEN - SAVE box is
greyed out. I would be grateful for any help to solve this.
Thank you.

Bryan, to get an answer use a decent/unique subject line?

If you go to OE>tools>options>security tab>and remove the
check mark from the 4th one down it may resolve this problem for you.
You could also take a look at the help>read me file in OE and this will
explain the 'problem', under new features in this release.
You could also bookmark the following link, where you can search the
previously asked questions over many years, a very useful site.
