Open the hotmail message and click download attchments, but i would be careful because alot of email forwards that have attachments also have viruses.

There's possibly two problems...\n   Go to the file types  tab  in folders options.  You'll get a list of file extensions. Click on the one that you can't open and it may show you what program will open that file type.  If nothing is there, click on new and browse or type in the name of the program you want to open that extension.  \n\n   The other problem may be that you are not using html viewing in your email program, the file type will not display.  If you view in html, the pics or files should display in your email box.

It sounds like maybe your excel file maybe rejected by the mail server because that server wants to prevent dangerous files from spreading.  I recommend that you zip for your file before sending it since those mail blockers work by looking at your file extensions.

That attachment is for formatting a message.  No need to view the file itself.  If you were using Thunderbird to read emails, likely it would display properly.

Because it's a Yahoo! product.  Never use anything Yahoo! asks you to download.  Stick with their almost-useful web services.

there could be several reasons for this.\nif you are trying to send a file with an .exe .scr .com or another executable extension yahoo mail will not let you send it. the best way to aviod this problem is rename the file from for example program.exe to program.rename and attach it. ask the reciever to rename it back to exe. \nyou could also zip the file but it may cause problems when the reciever recieves it because some email systems do not support zip extensions and/or parse zip files for 'enclosed' executable extensions. if this is the case your reciepient will probably not recieve the file.

check the location you are downloading this file to, and make sure if it is an .exe file, you go back once it's downloaded and doubleclick on it to install it.  Otherwise, it won't do a thing to help your computer.  As far as making yahoo your default email provider, is this for Outlook?  Check out the following information and link:\n\n"The ability to access Yahoo! Mail via a POP3 email client (such as Outlook or Outlook Express) is only available to customers of our premium Yahoo! Mail Plus service. \nIf you have not purchased the Yahoo! Mail Plus service, you will be unable to retrieve messages via an email client. To determine whether or not you have purchased this service, please visit the My Services page. "\n\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-40.html\n\nThere are links on this yahoo mail FAQ page for most email client software programs.\n\nGood luck.

If the other answer didn't work then check that you have a program installed and associated with the type of attachment you want to open.\n\nEach attachment needs a certain program to open. Each file has a 3 letter extenstion which is associated to a a program on your pc if the pc has a program register for that extenstion that is. If there is no program installed to view that extenstion it won't work. Check the 3 letters at the end of the attachement (somthing.ext) where something is the filename and .ext is the extention Search  the extenstion in Yahoo and see if that helps.\n\nSome common extenstions for which you might not have a program installed\n.DOC = Microsoft word ( open office.org will open them as well)\n.PPS or PPT - MS Powerpoint\n.XLS = MS Excel\n.RAR = Winrar

if you send me the details of your mail server, I can help you. There can also be problem with your internet cafe, which doesn't allow attachment as most of them are time-based and not volume-based.

Generally zipping a file will not block it.  It sounds like they have their security setting a bit too high.  I receive attachments all the time and rarely are they blocked.  I am using Outlook 2003 as well.

You might try sending it to some account that you'd read from the internet (ex. Yahoo or Gmail). Sometimes I had similar problems, but never when reading attachment from internet mail accounts.\nMost of the time, I think it occurs when you have a programme like Outlook, Thunderbird, Eudora, etc. That can't understand your sender's mail format.
