What type of attachments?

Save the attachment to your HDD. Right click on it and Open With | Choose
Program. Find and choose a program that works and then check the box: Always
use this program to open this kind of file. This should enable you to open
these attachments in the future.

OE uses the Windows file associations. Sounds like you've got the wrong
association for the type of file it is.

See the Identifying Attachment File Types and Setting File Associations
