In Outlook Express, you should be able to just click on the atttachment (paperclip) and select open.

  Thanks.  I tried that but it won't let me save them in any form. It just tries to open them in a browser and I get a blank page. Maybe it's a Hotmail
  thing?  I don't know. Anyone else have any ideas?

  Thanks all!
