Sorry Shaleen, I should have been more precise - don't right click the message, just click it once to select
it. Then, from the 'File' menu on your toolbar (not from a pop-up box) choose 'File ->Save Attachments'. hth

Hello Al,

What you suggest is exactly that which I have in mind, but the problem is that in OE 5, when I right-click the
selected message, the pop-up box does not contain the option to 'save attachments'. Only when I open this
message (wither in a preview pane or in a new window), the attachment-section shows the name of the attachment
and if I right-click it, the pop-up box contains the option to 'save attachment'. So, you see, even to see the
name of the attachment, I have to open the message, which I find highly unsettling.

Any ideas ?

Shaleen,

Here's what I do with all email attachments. With the message selected (just high-lighted) choose 'File - >
Save attachments'. At this point you should see the name of the file that is to be saved, and you can choose
to cancel. If you proceed, save the attachment(s) to your quarantine folder of choice, then scan that folder
with your VS program before even looking in the folder. I have used this method for years, and with the
exception of a Trojan virus in a program named Joke.exe, (which waited months before executing) have had no
known infections. hth
