Outlook Express6 blocks access to the .url attachments

[tim]

Is there a way to get around the blocking of .url
attachments in Win2000 using Outlook Express 6.

My client used to be able to go to his web-site and choose:
File
Send
Link by Email
and then put in an address to send to and send the URL for
his site.

The error that comes up is:
This message has not been sent> Outlook blocked access to
the following potentialy unsafe attachments.
Businessname..URL.

This all started after adding a second account for his
email.

Thank you for your help.

Tim

See the link below on how to change this behavior but I would only recommend that if
your virus scan program scans ALL email attachments. Not that many internet worms
infect computers and use the infected computers address book to send out emails with
attachments that may make what appears to be a legitimate email, to instead be a
worm. --- Steve

Click Tools | Options
Go to the Security Tab
Uncheck the box that says Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened....

that should take care of it
