Email Attachment

[Antz]

I m having problems with the Window Mail,
in the past I have no problem with opening mail attachments.
And now I have to save the attachment inorder to view it and
it also applies to all sent mail, when I delete the attached file
I cant view them.

Can someone advise how can I fix this problems.

Thank you and I will appreciate your advise.

It would have been helpful to post the exact error message.
Without benefit of the error message I will make a guess and assume
this issue is caused by a recent install of IE8.
Uninstall IE8 by following these instructions:

Instead of uninstalling IE8, another option is to upgrade
your email program to Windows Live Mail:

Hi,
I had the same problem arrising yesterday morning just after the IE8 and
Office Service pack 2 were installed by windows update.
By chance, the problem dissapeared in the afternoon when windows update
upgraded my vista to Service pack 2.
I recommand then to check in windows update if you are also in between that
two updates ...
If yes, just upgrade to Vista SP2 and you will be able to open office
attachments again form email in windows mail.
regards

Bernard,
it would have been nice would you have update the thread with your later
experience.

To all who come across this thread:
Bernard's posting was premature.
Meanwhile he reported that the problem is back.

This is only too natural: So far no SP and no Windows patch is if any
influence in the IE(-WinMail bug {siiiigh}.
