Cannot view attachment in Outlook Express 6

[Jonathan Estabillo]

I tried to reinstall my whole Office XP suite as my friend told me and try
to open again a .doc, picture files like gif,jpeg, and other picture files
in my outlook express. Still it did not work. Can somebody help me on how to
view my attachment in Outlook Express? Thank You.

1) Why on earth would reinstalling *OFFICE* have any bearing on OE? They
are mutually exclusive. OE is *NOT* - and has never been - part of Office.

2) The answer to your problem can be found here http://groups.google.com.
Search for it yourself - this is an FAQ, and it won't take you more than 30
seconds to find the answer.

3) Posting once *IN THE RIGHT PLACE* is sufficient. Posting three times
in 10 minutes is unnecessary.

4) This newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97, 98, 2000, 2002 & 2003
from the
Office family for Windows PCs. For Outlook Express (OE) support try posting
in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4.outlookexpress for OE 4.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.mail.mac for the Macintosh version of OE

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found here:

Hit forward, then open or save the attachment and close the message.

It's a new security feature to prevent accidental opening of viruses, either
by yourself or scripting. you can disable it in tools | options | security,
but I think the extra effort to hit forward is safer and well worth the
extra click.
