Why is it that Yahoo Mail does not automaticaly open attachments?

WHY CAN'T I OPEN ANY ATTACHMENTS IN MY YAHOO MAIL. LAST 4 WEEKS!~!!!!!?

• Have not been able to open ANY attachments, photos, documents, brochures. it keeps telling me I'm not connected to the internet. I have checked your site and you have many ?'s from others unable to open their attachments. What's going on? Service is very bad.

• Answer:

  Yahoo is still having some problems at the moment. Suggested cures range from Update Adobe Flash Player and Java script to clear IE7 cache, cookies, and browsing history. Different things seem to work for different people. It's causing attachments to not show, 999 errors where it won't let you do a particular action and some people cannot send receive delete or move mail. It's not just Vista either it's happening to some of us on XP. If all else fails go back to classic mail via this link. http://us.mg1.mail.yahoo.com/dc/optout?script=no click yes when asked do you want to opt out. Hope this helps.
