When I go to download a file from my email (YAHOO) it does not keep the name of the file - it puts in "untitled" Not sure if this is a browser issue or email issue but need to fix it.

How are you downloading the file? Are you using Save As?

I only get the option to SAVE or to OPEN. And before I even do anything it has already called the file Untitled

It says you have chosen to open:

UNTITLED

etc....

Even though the attachment has a real file name

Not only that but it does not put an extension on it. I have to add .pdf or .xls to the file name before I can use the file

Sounds like the information the website sends about the file is not working properly. Have you called their support?
