Have you tried right clicking on the attachment and selecting the "Open With" command.
Then select the program to open your attachment.

I've presumed you're using Windows XP

Edit: I've moved you to the email forum for a more accurate response

Hi,

Can you tell us which type of files (attachments) are you trying to open (e.g: .doc, .pdf)?

What happens if you save those attachments to the PC and then double-click to open them?
