When I receive an attachment with an Outlook message -- .doc, .jpg, etc. -- and not necessarily a .exe file, I want to open it quickly, preferably with a single click. (All of my other activity, to the extent possible, is with single clicks.) Now I double click, and then I get the run, open, cancel screen. I would like to avoid that, if I can, and simply click or double click. It seems I could do that at one time. My security settings are pretty low, and I thought I had clicked or unclicked all the right boxes, but apparently not. Is what I want to do possible? Many thanks.

What version of Outlook? Do you have the Reading Pane enabled?

Thanks. It's Outlook 2003. The Reading Pane is enabled.

I appreciate your help.
