How do you get the prompt to save or open an attachment?

[Guest]

When you open an attachment in a message, there's a prompt that asks if you
want to save or open the attachment. I accidently unchecked the box that says
"always ask when opening attachments". Now I can't find the option to turn
the prompt back on.

Any ideas?

TIA.

It's a general file type setting you can control in Windows; Confirm open
after download
Control Panel-> Folder Options-> tab File Types

I just tried it and it works. I had to use the "advance" button to get the
right properties. Find the file extension, select it, then click the
"advance" button. Then check the "confirm open after downoad".

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction though.
