I have a question - I get the protective view part, it prompts you to think for a second before enabling content. But read only on ALL attachments? Why there is such a setting in the first place. How can I permanently disable this setting in outlook?

Go into File - Options -- General -- Start up Options and uncheck: Open e-mail and other uneditable files in reading view
It will open right up without Read Only.

  I have tried all of the above and nothing is working. My attachments are still showing in read-only view. Also I don't have the option to 'Open email and other uneditable files' in my start up options under General??

  3 years later and still usefull, I found that Meredith referred to Word-Options, not Outlook. So 'Open email and other uneditable files' should be an additional step between 4 and 5 in Wors options dialog.
