I uninstalled my antivirus program. I also went to Windows Mail, Tools,
Options, Security and unchecked "Do not allow attachments to be saved or
opened that could potentially be a virus. I restarted my computer after
uninstalling AV. Also after removing email account, before adding it again.
Still cannot open attachments.
