How can I stop attachments being read-only?

[Guest]

Hi all,
In Office Outlook 2003, I often have to edit attachments and be able to save
them whilst still attached to the original e-mail.
I used to use Outlook 2002, which recieved all attachments in 'non-read
only' format, so this was no issue (changes were saved on the attachment in
the e-mail).
Now that I use Outlook 2003, all attachments come through as read-only which
stops me from being able to do this.

Is there a way of configuring Outlook, on either (or both) sending and
receiving computers, so that attachments are recieved in a fully editable
format?

Thanks,
Sarah

Open the message first and then the attachment instead of directly opening
them from the Reading Pane.
