Default Unable to open emails sent at attachments, in Outlook 2003 SP3?

Recently I've had a number of users experience the inability to open
emails sent to them as attachments, rather than as just inline. They
can properly open other attachments (.doc, .pdf, .xls, etc.) without
issue. The problem seems to only be with emails sent as attachments.
This issue happens whether the attachment email is sent from internal
user to user (i.e. never passing through anything but our Exchange 2003
SP2 Server), or from an external source which passes through our spam
firewall.

Any clues what would be causing this? Is it SP3 for Outlook related?

Google Desktop Search is a likely culprit.

Wow! Really?! I'd heard GDS was breaking certain things in Outlook,
but didn't think this was a symptom of what GDS was affecting.

OK I'll give uninstalling it a shot and see if that fixes it.

How do you uninstall it, even though I don't even know if I have it.
