You might be better off saving the files from the emails to your
folders. If you haven't scanned the files with your anti-virus program
yet, do that ASAP. Once they are saved, you shouldn't have the trouble
expanding them that you do while they are email attachments.
If you still have trouble expanding the program take a look at
http://www.7-zip.org/ which will let you expand .rar files and is good
as well as free.

No Microsoft garbage used here, sent by a very satisfied Linux-Mint
<http://www.linuxmint.com/> user (a former disgruntled Microsoft user).
You could check out Vinux, Linux for the visually impaired
<http://wiki.vinuxproject.org/>.
This email and any attachments are not virus scanned either, that's up
to you poor Microsoft users to deal with.
I'd rather be a dangerous, wild Linux Penguin than a docile,
domesticated, Microsoft sheep.
