Outlook 2000
Certain attachments allow me the option of saving or opening the attachment. Other's don't. Mainly .mov files (which are sent from my phone).
I am wondering if there is a way to make it ask me to save or open the file.
One thing I have noticed. The .mov is in the email (that the phone sends to me), however the paperclip for the attachment does not appear

i'm all updated. You know what I did notice though. I automatically assumed that the attached file extension was .mov, but it's actually .3g2.
I think what I may do is mess around with my file types, see if I can change it for .3g2

bingo. I went to Folder Options' File Types tab, found the extension and checked off, 'Confirm After Download' for that particular extension, and that did the trick.
It's too bad, it doesn't automatically do this. I wonder if there is a setting in QuickTime Player, that will do something similar....
anyways.
Thanks for your help!

The .mov files still open automatically.
This only happens if I have 'Auto Preview' enabled. If I disable it, The files show up at the bottom of the email in a frame, where I can right click the file, and save it, or open it.
I need to be able to hit the little paperclip icon in 'Auto Preview' and prompt me to save it.
