I just started using Outlook Express 6 and for some reasons, I cannot
execute any attachments. The paper clip icon appears, showing that an
attachment is included with the e-mail, yet when I click onto the
icon, a small window opens up, but both the attachment description or
the "save attaintment" options are not highlighted and you cannot do
anything with them. I then forward the same e-mail to myself, use
another e-mail program to open them and the attaintment is available
and executable. What is wrong and how do I fix it please?

Lastly, if there such a thing as just an "Outlook" mail program? If
so, where do I get it and what does it offer that "Express" does not?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Outlook definitely exists as you are in its forum (the forum for Outlook
Express is
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer)

Outlook is part of Microsoft Office but also available as a separate
product. The main advantages Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 has over Outlook
Express for home users is a Calendar, better Contacts support, Junk-mail
filter, higher level of security and much more. You can find a list of what
you can and how you can do it in Outlook 2003 here;
