Hello, Hope someone can help.

I am unable to download attachments, photos etc which I have send to my self as an example.

Why I check the help link which is attached to my mail, I get the following which is an except only from the full answer.

............... If Mail blocks an attachment that you receive, the warning Prohibited file type is displayed in the message header, and the attachment can't be downloaded or opened.

.........o always allow all types of attachments, you can change this setting in Safety options. After changing this setting, you will be able to download and open all...........

MS give me the instructions to open and change the settings as follows:---

To always allow Mail to download and open all types of attachments
  1. Open Windows Live Mail by clicking the Start button . In the search box, type Mail, and then, in the list of results, click Windows Live Mail.
  2. On the Home tab, click Junk, and then click Safety options.

  3. Click the Security tab, and then, under Virus protection, clear the check box next to Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus, and then click OK.

What I cant find is the 'Home tab' I live in Austria and have German installed on my PC which is no problem, What I want is the Name for Home tab in German.     Or better still the equivalent German help file.

Thanks  Colin
