Why does Outlook Express not open any attachments sent to me?

I suspect that your security settings are set too high to allow attachments.

I think one of the recent Windows security updates changed the default settings.

Open OE, click on tools, options.

On the security tab, make sure that the zone is set to Internet zone, and that the box to prevent opening attachments that could potentially be viruses is NOT checked.

You will need to make sure that your virus scanner files are up to date, and that it is set to scan e-mails and attachments.Chas

juz an add-on, up till OE5.5 there is no such issue, OE6 has this feature enabled by default

Your question leaves me to believe your wanting the attachment to open automatically. It won't. you have to click on the paperclip icon in order to view the attachment.
