opening attachments

I am having a problem opening email attachments. I have an msn address.
When I receive emails that have attachments that contain pictures, they won't
open. I click on the attachment and it goes straight to word. I have to
click save as and view in something else. If I open my msn address through
hotmail in internet explorer then I don't have this problem. It will open
just fine.
Any ideas???

Since you mention opening your mail in Hotmail's website s something
different, how are you opening it when you have difficulties?
