I recently installed Outlook 2002. When I download a file
from a newsgroup, I cannot save the attachment. The
command is visible on the File menu but it is faint and
does not work. Any suggestions??
 
If you're reading newsgroups through Outlook, you're most likely using
Outlook Express in a news only mode as the "Outlook Newsreader". (Outlook
itself doesn't do newsgroup reading.) You're likely running into the
Outlook Express attachment security when trying to get to the attachments to
newsgroup posts. In Outlook Express, try going into Tools | Options |
Security and clearing the checkbox for "Do not allow attachments...". Of
course, the usual caveat applies -- make sure you know what you're
downloading, and have a good antivirus program installed and running.
