Re: Cannot open attachments in Windows Mail

Go to the Symantec website and get their removal tool and remove it
completely and then reboot. Then in WinMail, remove your mail accounts,
close and reopen WinMail and then add them back again.

Find an antivirus program that is less intrusive than Norton or McAfee.
