When I click on a .doc attachment to an email, I would like the .doc attachment to automatically appear on my screen, not be saved on my desktop.

I used to be able to click on the attachment to an email, and the attachment would automatically open on my screen. Somehow it now just saves the attachment to my desktop.

Look under Tools/Options/Attachments/Incoming change the Action for doc Content type (by clicking the Action drop-down) from Save File to Use Word (or whatever program you use to view doc files).
