Unsafe attachements

[bmoore9365 \(removename\)]

I get a message on my email that says... OE removed
access to the following unsafe attachments in your mail.
Then I can't open the attachment. Sometimes it's an
eml. Any suggestions?

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:
