Google Chrome using Yahoo webmail - can you open attachments without saving?

Hello,

I've been using Google Chrome with Yahoo Mail, and when I want to view an attachment (for example, an image or powerpoint presentation someone emailed to me) I cannot simply open it with a default program; it makes me save the file in order to view it - which I then end up deleting after I view it because I didn't want to save it in the first place. Is there a way to get Chrome to do what IE does, and just prompt me when I click the link on whether I want to open or save?

    I have the same problem. I recently had a corrupted IE due to malaware pup.option bug. Norton hooked me up to Google Chrome and switched browsers. I cannot open attachments in a dropbox or save and know where they are. Help.
