After downloading WD OE 6.0 e-mail attachments would not open or save.
Problem solved by uninstalling WD. Is there a fix for this or did I somehow
mess up the download?
 
Bobk,
I just ran into that problem not too long ago. Try this, open OE. Select
the Tools menu,then select options, then select the security tab,make sure
the "Do not allow attachments...." box is not selected.
Good luck,
Kevin
 
Thanks Kevin... I had tried the solution you suggested . . . in this case it
did not solve the problem . . . only uninstalling Microsoft Windows Defender
did the trick. I have had the problem you did on another computer and solved
it the way you did.
 
There's a Microsoft post here somewhere mentioning that there is, in fact,
an agent which is examining such file attachments, and which perhaps is
behind this behavior. For other users, this may appear as a "lag" when
opening such an attachment.

The agent in question, I believe, is Internet Explorer Downloads--and you
can deselect it in general Settings.

It'd be interesting to see whether unselecting this agent would fix this
symptom on a machine which is seeing it.
