    Each browser must be installed on the computer.
    Each browser opens independently of the other. You can have
    Internet Explorer, Netscape and Mozilla and have all three
    or any combination open at the same time.
    If you want to attach a file to an email you are sending
    using web mail such as Hotmail or Yahoo, you use the attach
    file commands in the mail application.
    If you are using a mail application, such as Outlook Express
    or Mozilla, you use their features to select and attach a
    file.
    To open an attachment that is sent to you by email you
    normally just double-click the attachment and it opens, but
    for security reason, Outlook Express blocks opening an
    attachment because attachments are the primary method of
    sending viruses. If your question is, How do you over-ride
    this security? To open attachments using Outlook Express,
    click Tools/Options/security tab and uncheck the 4th box.
    Be careful and sure about the content and source of the
    attachment because you are more likely to get an infection.

    You can set any browser or mail program as the default, but
    you can select to use any program without changing the
    default program.

| Yup my lingo is pretty decrepit.
| Example:   If anyone sends a web attachment  through OE,
the "browser" that  makes the connection to the URL is
Netscape 4.7 (a veritable antique).
| I have Netscape 7.1 downloaded as a separate entity but
CANNOT figure out how to "attach" it to OE6..
| I hope this now makes sense
