Windows Mail Newsgroup Combine and Decode problem

[bob clere]

Under XP and the old Outlook Express, I could select all the parts of a
multipart media file, select "Combine and Decode" and then click the
combined file name and view the file without saving it to my hard drive. Now
under Vista and using Windows Mail as the viewer, I can combine and decode
but the combined file name is not "clickable" , you can not view the file.
There must
be a setting somewhere that needs to be turned on. Does anybody know where
it is?

Thanks

You have to save to disk before you can open the file.

You didn't have to save to disk under XP/Outlook Express, you could view it
without saving. It seems like there must be a way to do it in the new
Windows mail.

Well, I just did it with the three messages above this one of mine, and I
could read it without saving. I've never tried it with pictures.
