Al;
The default security setting for Outlook Express is to block file attachments. To allow attachments to download and open in Outlook Express, click on Tools > Options > Security > and UNCHECK the option labeled "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus."
Review the other security options available, decide what to allow or deny, then click Apply to save and then OK to close the options. I would recommend selecting the radio option to use the Restricted sites zone for opening email, as it will disable some common exploit codes used by viruses and spambots.
I have enlarged on the topic of Outlook Express Security on my blog.
