Can anyone give me advise how to open messages with a paperclip.
When I click the paperclip I receive the respective file in grey
characters and cannot open the attachment/annex, but when the annex is a
video, characters are in black and i can open it with windows media player.
Who can help me. Thanks

PS I presume the reason that your Video attachments are allowed is because
they are not considered to be dangerous by XP (MS).
