Safari email attachment download

Everytime I open an email attachment (typically Word or Excel documents) the Downloads box pops up and displays the file I am trying to open as 'securedownload'. I then have to open the file from the desktop. Can I turn this off? I just want to click on an attachment and have it open.

Thanks

It can open it if I change the name and add the .jpg extention but this is a irritating processs with a lot of photos. Please email me at crazyhorse@yahoo.com if there is a solution to this.
