Problem - When receiving attached jpeg's to e-mail, normally could open them immediately by clicking it open and viewing it. Now, I have to save it as a file first. IE 6.0 and Norton Internet security. What's the obvious? Setting clitch?

Thanks in advance :-)

probably outlook express, yes? go into internet settings, security and somewhere in there is a place to uncheck 'prevent access to potentially insecure attachments' but if i were you i would keep saving them to disk so sure they get virus scanned...

Un-check "Do not allow attachments to be opened or saved that could potentially be a virus" under Outlook Express > Tools > Options > Security > Virus Protection Section!

Where have you been for the last 5 years? You DON'T WANT to double-click on ANYTHING in your email client. ALWAYS save to disk and scan with your AV software.

no offence answer #3 but when he goes into see atachments they are grayed he cannot save/scan/open when the check mark is removed in the security setting he will then have the option to save/scan/open.
