Hello

***************************

By default, Microsoft Outlook blocks attachment files (
such as .bat, .exe, .vbs, and .js) that can contain
viruses. You cannot see or access the attachments. Your
Inbox will display the paperclip icon in the Attachment
column to let you know that the message has an
attachment, and you will see a list of the blocked
attachment files in the InfoBar at the top of your
message. If you try to open the attachment by right-
clicking the item, View Attachments will not appear on
the shortcut menu.

****************************

Is there any way to turn this off in Outlook or on our
exchange Server ?

For a local/registry solution;
http://www.sparnaaij.net/faq/blockedattachments.htm

For a serverside solution download the Office Resource Kit. It contains a
template file (Outlooksecurity.oft) and documentation on how to implement
it.
