Can't I choose program to open an attachment ?

Fred Howard

I'm new to Outlook, having used Eudora for many years.

When I open an attachment, isn't there a way I can tell Outlook at that moment what program to use? For example, if I receive a tab-delimited .txt file, maybe I want to open it with Excel, but I want to continue to open other .txt files with a text editor.

I haven't found anything other than changing the default program for the file type, and I don't want to do that.

Outlook seems to be pretty powerful; I have to believe it can do anything Eudora can do.

Thanks very much in advance for your kind attention.

Outlook will just use the default app the OS tells it to use, I don't think
you can change it on the fly.
