How do I read an attachment sent in an earlier version of MO?

[travelin pam]

when opening an attachment I rcv an error "you are attempting to open a file
that was created in an earlier version of Microsoft Office. This file type is
blocked from opening in this version by your registry policy setting." How
do I unblock this?

Try saving the attachment locally first. Then try opening it from
there.

If the problem still remains, and you are using Office 2003 SP3, you
might want to check out http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941636
