Sounds like you may be trying to edit the attachment, itself... Something
you really never could do, but XP let you _think_ your changes were being
saved. I believe Vista addresses that deception by letting you know that the
file is Read Only - but doesn't go on to tell you why, which is that the
"attachment" is stored on a mail server for which you don't have write
permissions. Save the attachment to your hard drive, open that copy for
revision & you should be good to go. Keep in mind that the files don't go
"back and forth" via email, they get *copied* from one place to another
