do they open if you double click them? The previewer error is because they
can't display (or play) in the preview pane - you need to open the
attachment.

Are you using Vista or Windows XP?

I am experiencing the same problem - since upgrading to 2007, some old attached messages to filed e-mails will not open either in the preview window or when the message is opened. Sometimes I get an error from the "Micorsoft Office Previewer"

I have not found any solutions thus far. Still looking. :x
