It might be a security option you don’t have enabled/disabled.

Use regular Outlook, it’s better.

yeah…it’s a security thing…

go to “Tools”–\>“Options”

then click the security tab

then there should be a checkbox that says “Do not allow attachments to be saved…”

that should fix it (if that doesn’t do it, you may have to turn of your antivirus or something).
