E-mail attachments

I can't open any of my attachments. A message comes up
saying OE has removed any unsafe attachments.
How do I get OE to stope removing my attachments?

jana;
Open OE/Tools/Options/Security/UNcheck; "Do not allow
attachments......"/Apply/OK.
Hope this helps. Let us know.

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:
