Are you saving the attachment to your hard drive _first_?

If not, that is how to start. Once you save it, navigate in Windows to the
location you saved it to, right-click the file icon & select 'Properties'
from the shortcut menu to see if there is a check in the 'Read Only'
attribute box and remove it if there is. Then open the copy, make a change &
see if you can save. If so, go from there and email the finished product back
to the sender as an attachment.

If not, post back with specific results.

Keep in mind that whe you deal with attachments via email, the actual file
_is not_ being sent back & forth. Each attachmet is a duplicate of the file
being "attached".
