Whenever you open an attachment in OE, it saves a TEMPORARY copy of the
attachment in the IE Temporary Internet Files (TIF), then launches the
appropriate program passing the saved attachment name so that you can
OPEN (view) the attachment. When you move on to the next message, OE
will attempt to delete that TIF copy. It won't be able to if the
opening application still has the file locked.

If you want to update that attachment, the intended way to handle this
is either save the attachment first (e.g. File, Save Attachments or any
of several other ways), then open the saved attachment in your
application, or if you open from with OE, use the File, Save AS in the
application rather than simple Save.

Under no circumstances can you update the attachment embedded in the
original message.
