What kind of attachment? Outlook 2002/2003 will not let me open attachments like exe, etc., but it will let me open pictures, etc. I use an addin called Attachment Options which you can get for free here: http://www.slovaktech.com/attachmentoptions.htm This addin allows me to open a lot more than Outlook will let me open without it, but some file types still require saving before opening.
