Can open attachment -- when attachment is Outlook file!

H

I have no problem opening any attachment in Outlook, unless that attachment
is itself an outlook file, an outlook message being forwarded to me. I try
to open it in Outlook, I drag it to the desktop and try there. Nothing.

I would have thought the one attachment Outlook would be happy with would be
one of its own. Not so.

Are you speaking of a .MSG file? This is usually caused by Google Desktop
Search.

The attachment appears as they yellow envelope, the Outlook icon. Beyond
that I don't know.

Surely you'd know whether or not you installed Google Desktop Search.
