Hi The easiest thing to do is save the attachment first and then open it up after saving. There is a toggle attachment view if you open an email with an attachment, but it's a little unreliable from my experience to view the attachment from there. I have a work flow that will save an attachment directly to my downloads folder, but this might be something to consider when you have used the Mac for a while and are more comfortable. You can also set up a shortcut key up in system preferences as well to save attachments with a specific keystroke, but again, this might be a bit too advanced. You'll find the save attachment item under the file menu. Take Care John Panarese On Feb 11, 2011, at 3:06 PM, Lena Contreras wrote: > Hi > I'm new to the Mac and to the list.
