I can't open attachments in my email, it just started two weeks ago. No word, excel, or all files
I can't open anything in my e-mails and can use any help. This just started about two weeks ago.
Highlight the message of such a message header. CTRL + F3 will reveal the source code of the message. Are you sure there's an attachment? Even for a small gif, you should see maybe hundreds of lines of gibberish as in this very small example.

Don't you see a lot, a lot of lines like this? If this is not the case, make sure that you do not read in plain text. (Tools |) Options | Read). And, if you do not read in plain text, let us know what anti-virus program you are using.

Hello
You must have the program installed to be able to read the attached files that programs
for example, if it is a .doc file in the attachment, you installed Word
.xls, you need Excel
. PPS, you need Powerpoint
etc.
but fortunately, there are FREE viewers provided by Microsoft for the accessories of extension file above that will save you having to buy Microsoft Office
Here are the download links for free Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint viewers:
Word Viewer
View, print and copy Word documents, even if you don't have Word installed. This download is a replacement for Word Viewer 2003 and all previous Word Viewer versions.
Excel Viewer
Open, view, and print Excel workbooks, even if you don't have Excel installed. This download is a replacement for Excel Viewer 97 and all previous Excel Viewer versions.
PowerPoint 2007 Viewer
Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 Viewer allows you to view the presentations of all the features created in PowerPoint 97 and later versions.
and you can try the FREE Open Office applications game to read these file extensions

The program to open the attachments is broken and needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled. I don't have any idea how to solve this problem.
The error message says that MS Word is not correctly installed and you need to remove a reinstall it. You have MS Word on your computer? If this isn't the case, get this viewer.
If you do not have Word, you can try this, but if no joy, you may need to remove and reinstall Word.

I have Windowns Vista Home Basic Edition and use Windows Mail. All of a sudden, I am unable to open any attachment sent to me by e-mail. I can read my emails, however. Help!
Issues related to the:

2.) you have viewers needed to open the attachments? like PowerPoint Viewer, just to name one.
(3.) your anti-virus program has electronic sweeping running option? If so, disable it.We provided information to help you
In the meantime, if you remember the date when you were able to open attachments, and the date does not exceed 15 days ago, you can do a system restore and choose this date as your restore point.

I tried all that on the previous thread for the same problem and I can not open attachments. I have no problem with attachments in Internet Explorer. It looks like a problem of FireFox for me.
Whuch suggestions did you try? Here are two recent threads, I found:
- Firefox 977835/questions/977835 used to download all attachments from yahoo, all other downloads work email
- / issues/978924 Cannot open the pdf attachment in Yahoo Mail. Worked in 25.0 not 25.0.1. Still works with IE.
Have you tried /questions/977835? page = 2 #answer-506091 (change the parameters of 'Complete' to 'Basic')?
Are you accessing Yahoo Mail directly from https://mail.yahoo.com/ instead of via a bookmark? Edit: I see already suggested this and linked to another thread, philipp/issues/971042
