If it was Encrypted to Your Key then You will be able to Open the File,
Attachment, whatever.  Enigmail is merely a Frontend for GnuPG.  If You
saved the Encrypted Email and then Installed Enigmail; Opening the Email
with Enigmail /should/ allow You to Decrypt the Attachment _if_ it was
encrypted to Your Key.

Anytime an Encrypted Email, File or Attachment is Forwarded then if the
Recipient wasn't Encrypted to they will be Unable to Open the File.
