Hotmail: No 'Save Attachment'

Hi, Since my 250MB storage upgrade, I'm unable to save certain types of
attachments as I used to be able too with my Hotmail account. TXT & JPG
files are examples, when I single click the attachment, a download window
opens, when I click 'Download' a window opens displaying the text or image.
What has happened to the 'save or open' box. I use MSN Explorer for Hotmail
so the only way now to save a TXT file is with the copy & paste method which
is a bit crazy
these days. Likewise, I have to right click an image to save it.
Has anybody else notice this? Thanks - Drew

Why not "forward" the message to your ISP provided e-mail address?

Probably the space allowed for your Temporary Internet files has
increased to an outrageously large size that it cannot handle. Go to
Control Panel, Internet Options, click the Delete files on the general
page, then Settings and reduce the space. 40 or 50 MB should be plenty
for anything.
