Re: Cant Open/Save attachments in Windows Mail

Microsoft has taken it upon themselves to decide if the content your friends are sending you is safe. In Vista, update KB05866 changed removed your right to decide which attachments are safe. If you uninstall that update and restart your computer, you should get it back.

Re: Cant Open/Save attachments in Windows Mail

To open an attachment directly from a message in Windows mail
  1. Open Windows Mail by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs, and then clicking Windows Mail.

  2. Open a message that contains an attachment by double-clicking it in the message list.

  3. At the top of the message window, double-click the file attachment icon in the message header.


To save attachments to a folder on your computer
  1. Open Windows Mail by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs, and then clicking Windows Mail.

  2. Open a message that contains an attachment by double-clicking it in the message list.

  3. In the message window, click the File menu, and then click Save Attachments.

  4. Select the folder where you want to save the attachments.

    By default, Windows Mail saves attachments in your Documents folder. If you want to save the attachments to a different folder, click Browse, and then select a folder.

  5. Select the attachments that you want to save, and then click Save.
