Outlook search opens attachments when I want it to open emails

Hi neilosj,
I found your thread while looking for a better solution than the one I have currently, but by messing around, I've discovered that this can be achieved by first [Right-click]ing on the attachment result, and then hitting [Enter/Return].
I haven't yet found a way to do this via the keyboard only, nor even with the mouse only: You may think that [Right-click] followed by [Left-click] would work, but it does not. I'm sure there's another way, but the only way I know is [Right-click] followed by [Enter/Return]. Very odd.

- Thanks for sharing a workaround.
Much appreciated.
