I use win/xp and am having trouble opening attachments that are sent.It seems that if my mail server does'nt recognize the pgm. that sent the attachment I am told to find a compatable pgm to open the attachment.This request is in the form of a window that give me 2 options. (1) to select one from the Windows Help site or (2) pick one of my own. ?????? thanks

check your security setting's located under tools Options. Make sure that OE is not treating the attachments as a virus ( OE6 does this).
If not the check file association in my computer tools Folder options file types and associate the program youuse to view the attachments

Check to make sure that the message content is set to MIME plain text both on server and workstation.
