Outlook Express Question

[Josh]

I cant receive attachments. Get a message "OE has removed
access to the following unsafe attachment in your mail:"

any idea what is wrong. This happens with all
attachments. Currently running Norton antivirus but I
dont think that is the prob.

Help please and thanks.

The articles will tell you to go to 'Tools|Options|Security' and remove the
checkmark from the fourth box down, the one labeled "Do not allow
attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus."
