Cannot view some attachments in Outlook express.

[Sheila]

PLEASE HELP!!!

I cannot view most of my attachments when sent via email. I can view Word
docs and Excel files but when I try to view an attachment like a .pif or
..jpeg OE does not allow it. The statement "O E removed access due to the
following unsafe statements" displays. There are no virus contained within
the attachment as I have asked friends to send jpegs and I still cannot view
them.

ANY IDEAS :- I have reduced my security settings in OE and IE.

First this is a news group dedicated to Microsoft Access, a database
program. You should post this question to an OE newsgroup.

I suggest that there are several possibilities. I would guess you
updated OE with a security upgrade and it reset the security levels. The
new settings are more restrictive and more careful. Even an image file can
cause problems.
