Open attachments
When I want to open an attachment, I first need to save it to the computer. Is there a way to simply open it?
Of course it is. It is enough to click on the attachment and select 'Open' from the context menu.
If you don't see this option, make sure you have the latest updates for the e-mail program. Open the app Store and check updates (top-right).

MIcrosoft Excel cannot open or save documents more because there is not enough memory or disk space.
To make more memory available, close workbooks or programs you no longer need.
To free disk space, delete files that you no longer have need of the disc you save to.I have 4.75 TB of disk space available. I tried to close open programs and I can't always open attachments.
I did a search on google and found some info that seems to suggest that it is a question of MS Excel /Word.

Do not open attachments MATLAB in TextEdit
I understand how to set type on a Mac applications. However, there is a problem.
When I receive an email with a ".m" (MATLAB) file, it should open in TextEdit (on a Mac) because this is the app that I put on my machine. I also put types strangers and plain text to open with TextEdit. But Thunderbird opens a copy of the message in another window and includes the ".m" as an attachment file. He seems unaware that the default is set to TextEdit.
If you open Preferences(or AppMenu/Options/Options)/room detached/Incoming, there's an entry for ".m" content type files for this? If so, delete it by clicking on the drop-down Action, OK, restart TB, double click on (open) a ".m" attachment and set up the application by default for files ".m"; If TextEdit does not appear, click on the dropdown menu 'Open with', other... and locate the TextEdit program.
On my Windows 7 system, the default text editor is already available as a default program to open attachments ".m", and the attachment is "inline" displayed in plain text.

cannot open attachments with my firefox. My wife can with IE
with firefox I can't open attachments in my email. I was send these emails to the email of my wife. She's with internet explore by yahoo by AT & t and then I did no harm to open on his email.
Hello jrhjmh, you are a user of yahoo mail and it works when you go to yahoo mail via this link? : https://mail.yahoo.com/
Reference: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/971042
I don't know as to what exactly is happening, but it seems that yahoo has changed something on their side makes some old dysfunctional urls/servers (you can now use those because you have them bookmarked before or through your story)-at a number of other users have reported that...
so using the generic address https://mail.yahoo.com/ as a bookmark must lead you to the current url & work. -
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

Cannot open attachments in firefox. OK in IE and iPhone and outlook
When using firefox for the email, I'm now unable to open attachments. Happened over the last week, before that, it was fine and I have not changed any settings (that I know).
I tried all the usual stuff of restart and looked at the settings as much as possible, but nothing jumps.
Email attachments even open fine in outlook, since my iphone and in IE, but I prefer the firefox because I used to use it for so long now. In addition, old attachments that I opened in the past won't open.
Never had any problems before with opening of attachments. All programs are affected - word, excel, pdf, etc.
Thanks - Jacki

cannot open attachments in hotmail
Last week I found that I couldn't open attachments in my Hotmail account using Firefox v 3.6.25. I used this version for quite some time and it is a new problem. I have upgraded my Norton 360 v 5.1.0.29. I contacted Norton and they were unable to help me. There is NO problem of access to these attachments when I switch to Chrome or Internet Explorer. Any ideas why Firefox has hesitated to this? I cleared my cache and cookies. No help!
Thank you

I can't open attachments ._DOC. I tried combining write, wordpad and others without success. I refused access to iexpl because of security settings. I have no WORD from the Office of M. advice?
You must change the extension of the name of _DOC in just DOC. Then you will need a program to open the file; the free Word Viewer, as well as a compatibility pack, if needed, should do the job. How to obtain the latest Word Viewer

Cannot open attachments in my Inbox
Why I can't open attachments in my inbox, accept unknown senders, use the up or down arrows to read emails. I continue to have returned to the home page?
The forum is to post your comments on the web site of Microsoft Answers, only not to ask questions e-mail.
Since you don't mention which e-mail service you use, or you mention what application you use to access this service (although I suspect it is a web browser based on your mention of 'home page'), I am at a loss to suggest the ideal forum for your post.
If you are using Hotmail as your e-mail service, then ask in the center of Windows Live Hotmail Portalsolutions. If, however, you think that the problem is related to your web browser and you are using Internet Explorer, these forums can be found starting here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie. Be sure to choose the forum specific to your version of Internet Explorer. If you see error messages when you do whatever it is you do, please include the full text of this error in your new post.

Windows Vista Home Edition suddenly not open attachments. How can this be corrected?
I can't open attachments in the email in the "MAIL" program in Vista Home Premium
Hello, tubifex
Please use the Forum for answers!
I'm moving your post on the forum of programs.
What kind of attachments you are trying to open?
What is the exact error message you get?
Have you installed any programs or updates before this has stopped working?Are you able to open the offending file type in Windows directly?
If this started recently, you can try to do a system restore. This will restore the filesystem to a previous point in time. Go to start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, open system restore and choose a date before the problem started.
We can't wait to hear back on your part.

Original title: prevention of security Windows opening attachments
I can't open attachments on emails sent to my email for Microsoft Outlook - it has recently started to happen. I tried to change the security settings in Outlook but they seem to be on the normal and the option to block potentially harmful messages is not checked. When attempting to open the attachments, I get the message that Windows found that this file is potentially harmful and has blocked access to this file. Any can you please suggest how to change it, it occurs on all email attachments, even those I know are safe of them have opened on another computer.
