atachments

i use outlook express, have it set as mail handler, and a person sends me an attachment it opens in thunderbird.
i have oe set in internet options?

 

Where are you finding the Internet Options? In IE?

 

no i go to contril panel, then internet options, then properties and outlook express is mail program, plus in ou its set as same

 

i dont know what to look for sounds like im stupid

 

the next time i get 1 i will

thank you all for the assistance

 

heres a pocture

when i click on it to read it it opens up thundirbird email when i am useing ie

 

Is this the same person or from anybody?

Another thing to try. Before you open the attachment, right click on it and save as and choose where to save it. Then go find it and right click and choose Open with and choose something there. Choose OE if it is a choice or you can find it by browsing choose program.

 

i did what you said will see if it works


yes its fixed thank you so very much


i called microsoft they wanted big bucks for help

 

Thanks for posting back. Glad it worked out. This always helps in case somebody else has the same problem and does a search and sees this or any results that work.
Just send me half of what they wanted. You can do the same thing for any attachment. The program that is associated with it to open can be changed at anytime by doing what I posted above.

 

the only time it did that was email its working now


and the checks in the mail

 

Checks in the mail. I just looked and it ain't here.
E-mail it to me. You know how the snail mail is.
Take care.
