From email, whenever I click on an attachment, it opens in another window with the tab for the attachment as I expect. But the NewTab TAB opens as well and is the active tab. So I have to click on the attachment tab to view it. Then when done, if I delete the attachment tab , I also have to delete the NEW Tab as well.

This is a recent development and is different from the way things worked before.

If these programs are the same, Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.

Thank you FredMcD. I disabled both version 2 & 3 of The new tab add on programs and that took care of the problem.

Thank you again.
