For the first question, make sure OE is your default e-mail client.

Make OE the default e-mail client:

See this if it still does not set as default:

For your second question:

Tools>Options>Security. Uncheck: "Do not allow attachments................."

And please see these articles about virus protection in OE 6:

While not a major issue, I have lost the capability to access my mail account
from the IE toolbar as well as my Multi Media Keyboard. I have tried using
the reset button to no avail and when i take a look under IE Options-Programs
the e-mail area is blank. Last but not least why is it that OE will not
permit the opening of certain attachments eventhough I know them to be virus
free.
