File attachments (Outlook Express 5.5)

How can I stop file attachments from opening automatically when a message is opened? For some reason some attachments will open by themselves and some do not (mostly txt). Good thing my virus software is working because this has become a problem.

OE 5.5 is suppose to have the patch detailed below But I would suggest updating OE

File Attachments
When you open a multimedia e-mail attachment (such as file types ending in .mid, .wav, .gif, or .mov), code that is contained in the attachment can automatically run.
