Photo attachments that come by e-mail, when I click on them they automatically get downloaded. I would like to view them and choose where to save them. I accidently checked the save box once, and said yes to a question once which asked me if I wanted to automatically do this for all files like this. I just want to be able to go back and have the settings the way they were. Where do I go to change settings for how attachments are handled when you click on them?

Try here:

Tools > Options > Applications

Enter JPEG into the search box and change any that say "Save file" to "Always ask".

Does it work?

Edit: Forgot one other relevant setting. On:

Tools > Options >General tab

pick "Always ask me where to save files"

All good now?
