[Mrs. P]

Here's a stupid question: How do I know what the file extension name is on a file attachment in Outlook Express?

[Woodman]

This is for you and everyone else who doesn't know that answer.

Open Windows Explorer
Goto Tools --> Folder Options in the menu
In the Folder Options select the View TAB
In the list of Advanced Settings de-select "Hide file extensions for known file types"
Select "OK"

Now whenever you see a file attachment in any Microsoft writen Windows Program the File Nome will display with the extension. The is usefull when a virus is sent to you that has a double extension such as Fubar.txt.exe which under the default settings will display as an inocent text file when in really is a program.
