pitto....... Well for openers , you could tell us which E mail  app your using ...UNLESS thats classified .  Which O/S are you using ?
What kind of attachments are you getting that you cannot open ?


let us know

the emails are from a friend and they are attachments

The attatchmetns are probably .jpeg files, or other types of picture files.  You need to get a picture view, or graphics app to open the pictures in.

Downlaod 'photo plus' it's free, and pretty small.  Or browse www.softpedia.com for a regular picture viewer.  Also try quicktime from www.apple.com that has a picture viewer bundled with it.Cant explain  i NEVER use outlook express, i prefer to use the webmail provided by my isp! maybe i am wrong ,to think i am bunging up my hard drive with STUFF,where as the isp  servers can store my emails, and which provide me with the security , if one of my hard drives should  fail, my emails with will be safe !i digress
