If someone sends me an attachment, and I'm trying to do something quickly. I have to wait for that attachment to open before I can write my mail and send it. OR if I switch to Sent Mail to look something up, if the first one has an attachment, it has to open before I can scroll down and answer my question. Is there a setting in outlook I can change so it doesn't automatically open an emails attachment?
 
Do you have the Autopreview box open? It could be worth turning that off. (For more than just that reason)
 
If you are on a network, there should be a policy set that definitely does NOT open attachments automatically. Yikes.
