Perhaps the UK versions are different. . . . . . .
In several versions of OE supplied to me here I cannot find any way of setting attachments
to auto open, only jpegs appear at the end of text, everything else triggers a warning
window showing the full filename and always has.
Immediately prior to this, 3 mails with viruses arrived and would appear to have attempted
to auto open but triggered the warning screen whereupon I have used the block sender and
delete function.
