Maybe you should try using something better than Outhouse Express to read mail.

I never have trouble opening attachments with Outlook Express. For most people that I know that do have trouble, the reason is either that their ISP blocks attachments of the particular type that they can't open, or that the ISP drops them because they exceed the size of the allocated mailboxes on their servers.
If you want to be confident of the safety of incoming mail, and indeed any that you are sending out, I would suggest that you put AVG free version from Grisoft on your machine. This excellent anti-virus software checks all mail on the fly, and auto updates from its home site every day.

Open outlook express. Click tools, options, security. Uncheck flag do not allow attachments to be opened or saved that potentially can contain a virus. Click apply and/or ok. Restart outlook express. Use this at your own risk and follow advice, switch to thunderbird or another safer email program.
