I have a problem with downloading or saving attachments,
The screen which asks where to save or open the attachment is superceeded almost immediately either open or save is chosen with the download screen with the symbol of the earth and the folder and the handkerchief flying from one to the other. This will go on indefininately.
How do I cure this problem?

- Is this an attachement to an email or a link on a web page?
- What operating system / browser / email client are you using?

More of a work-around really - I suggested using FireFox and the problem disappeared.
