Viewing attachments - Outlook Express 6

The latest version of Outlook Express - (Version 6 Service Pack 1) - has an option ticked by default that may prevent you from viewing or saving certain attachments. You will notice that an attachment in an email is still on the email but it is 'greyed out' not allowing you to click on the attachment and open it.

Follow this guide to restore access to these attachments.
