    I'm currently having problems with my e-mails & don't know how to solve it.

    It's not every e-mail that's the problem, just ones with attachments. It's also only started in the last week or so. Basically, the body of the e-mail makes it through fine & the attachment is there but when I try to open it, regardless of what type of file it is, it tries to open it in another browser window. I've tried saving recent attachments & opening them that way but although it uses the correct application to open them, all I get is a string of text. It also defaults to saving everything as a HTML file & the only other option it gives me is "All files".

    I access my e-mail via my BT Yahoo browser if that's any help.

    Also, if it's any help to anyone, this is what I got when I opened an attachment that I sent to myself from work, just to test if it was my system or other peoples.



    Thanks in advance.

    Further info

    I've found that if I forward the e-mail from my BT Yahoo account to my hotmail account, I can open the attachments. Seriously puzzled now as to why Yahoo is playing up.
