I recieved an email from a known trusted source who
attached a .url file. The file was blocked by Outlook.
Upon research, I found that Outlook blocks a list of
certain file types by default. I cannot find where to
change, add, delete, or otherwise modify the file type
extensions that Outlook blocks by default. I do not find
any reference to this on any of microsoft's assistance or
support documents. Does anyone know how to do this?
 
See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup/getexe.htm for ways to get
the attachments off.
For more information on the security features, see http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup.htm

If you use OE, hit forward on a message or disable it in tools | options
| security.
