I am getting the message "OE removed access to the
following unsafe attachments in your mail" with all
emails with attachments - and can't open the attachments.
I have sent myself mail and attachments and get the same
message! I have windows XP Professional.

Can any one help,please?

Greetings --

Outlook Express' default security settings are simply trying to
protect you. OE has no way of telling whether an attachment actually
contains a virus or not, so it temporarily blocks any of those file
types that could potentially contain a virus. In Outlook Express,
Tools > Options > Security, uncheck the "Do not allow attachments to
be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" option, assuming
you trust the source, of course. The wiser course of action, however,
would be to modify your list of unsafe files, as outlined in the KB
articles below:
