I double clicked a photo attachment (a JPG file). I was given the choice of "open with" or "save to disk." I chose "save to disk" for this particular photo, but then I made the mistake of checking the box "Do this automatically for files like this from now on." I need to undo this but I don't know how. Now whenever I try to open any photo it automatically goes to the same file.

Open Tools(or AppMenu/Options)/Options/Attachments/Incoming, click the Action drop-down for jpg content type, Delete Action, OK. Then, right-click a jpg attachment in a message, Open, and redefine the default action, without checking "Do this automatically..."..
