[Macpartners] mailing word docs - problem

[Stan Diamond]

I am now running 10.3.7 and office 2004, but I used to get this with 
office X as well. Whenever I receive a word document as an attachment 
in an e-mail (I use Mail.app as my mail client) it opens as read only - 
even if it was not saved as such by the sender. I have even tested this 
by creating and sending to myself a word doc and it still opens as read 
only.
Have others experienced this? If so, do you know why this happens and 
how to prevent it?

TIA
Stan
