Some antivirus have a a setting like "Do not allow attachments [Attachment (warning)] to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" which can cause this. OLEXP on its own would be fine.
In advance, such a picture is always an attachment. I'd rather not duplicate the web on that.

I'll get an email from a friend that has pictures. If I want to save the picture I'll right click, choose save, and I get a message that the picture/file can't be found. 'Scuse me, I'm looking at it!
I've found that if I forward the message to myself, when I get it and right click the picture it works.
Any thoughts?
