In the Chilton Preview pane, you see an icon for each attachment. You can
right-click an icon and choose Save As. When I do that (on a couple of
different machines with Outlook 2000), I get "Could not save
attachment".

Actually, I just tried another strategy that worked. I'm confused now
because I believe I have tried this before and it did not work. Anyway what
worked (apart from just opening the email) was:

Click on the email in the list of mail (above the Chilton Preview pane). On
the File menu, select Save Attachments.
