I am having the same problem with Windows Mail not responding when I attempt
to open an attachment. This preplexes me because this was not happening
until 2 days ago. I have not had any other changes to my system. I am
running Norton Internet Security. Even with the email protection feature
turned off, Windows Mail continues to freeze up when I attempt to open an
attachment. This is very frustrating. Any advice?
