Every file that is sent to me from outside sources opens as "read only". I've sent myself files and verified that the file permissions were not set to read only. When I open the mail at home, it opens as "read only". This holds true for .odt files and for various MS Office files.

I can't believe this is right.  Can anyone suggest a solution?

My interim method is to use "save as" to save the "read only" copy of the file, then open the saved file. Thats getting to be a pain in the butt.

tnx

Mark,

Are you opening the files from with-in your mail reader or saving them to disk then opening them? If the former the that is the problem as the files are opened in a temp directory and the file system marks them read only.
