Not after the fact without some kind of third party plugin. (as far as I know)

We filter out potentially harmful attachments before the users sees
anything, but for the others, the attachments are every bit as important as
the rich text.  We run a global company on email.  Notes also archives
better and easier than just file archiving for the users.

Probably not for older hardware, you're basically stuck, you need signed
64-bit drivers for Vista 64, no ifs ands or buts -- even current hardware
doesn't fit that bill.

I don't see myself running 64-bit on the desktop until I need more than 4G of RAM...

What floppies, no PC's come with them anymore. :(
