Outlook Removing "unsafe" url's

[Jeff Lloyd]

I know the thinking behind Outlook removing all *.exe files and url's from
any email that comes in. However, this is really inconvenient when you know
who is sending you something, and you can't retrieve it.

I know about the renaming of the files to send executable attachments, but
what about someone you KNOW sending you a URL that they want you to see? My
version of Outlook (XP) removes it and there is no way to retrieve it. I
can't find anything in the help sections that speak to adjusting this - I
can't believe there is no chance of getting these url's through outlook.
Does anyone have any ideas??

Thanks in advance for any input on this matter.

it doesn't remove it - it hides it. See
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup/getexe.htm to learn how to get the
attachments off. One popular method is Attachment Options from
www.slovaktech.com
For more information on the security features, see
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup.htm


If you use OE, hit Forward on a message and open or save the attachment,
then close the message. Or disable it using Tools | Options | Security.
