How can I download an attachment?

When I click to download an attachment, I am forced to always save it. How can I just open it?

  • While in IE, you can just open an attachment, and then choose to save or delete. In Firefox, you MUST always save it before you can open it. I have looked at all possible settings, and can't seem to find out how to open without necessarily saving first.

  • Answer:

    I have found this with Yahoo Mail on Firefox. If you use Internet Explorer you can open them.

A Yahoo posting suggests that you disable scanning attachments in your anti virus software.If that 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.
