In OE, go to Tools>Options>Security and *uncheck* "Do not allow attachments
to be saved or opened...". However, be very careful about which attachments
you open from now on!

Advice to Kurt: As a so-called expert you should be capable of discovering the fix for this...very basic stuff. I recommend "Windows XP for Dummies". And don't get frustrated over a computer; computers don't make mistakes, people do. So read up and get back to us when you've learned elementary computing.

LOL! As a matter of fact I do have attachments turned off. If I
expecting an attachment, I'll turn it on, just to get that one
attachment, then immediately turn it off.

I take my computer security seriously.

First of all, I am no computer expert. I am totally self-taught by that
grand old master called, "Trial and Error." Heavy emphasis on the
latter.
I recommend "Windows
XP for Dummies".

While I was saving up to buy my first computer, I bought quite a few of
the "Dummies . . . ." series, so I have some idea of what I was gonna do
with the computer, once I saved up the bucks. While I haven't seen a
dummies book for nearly a decade, they were quite helpful to me getting
started with computing.
And don't get frustrated over a computer; computers
don't make mistakes, people do.

That's why we all learn the 3 finger salute?
So read up and get back to us when
you've learned elementary computing.

Back to the Future? I'll be right with you!

<aside>

While I know there are lots of great people here that would help me out
with a technical query, this would be a minor reason why I don't, but
the main reason would be, that I just enjoy trying to find the answer
myself. The past couple of days would be a perfect example. One of my
users at a remote location has been rusing his AOL dialup account to
check his work e-mail account. Sometime last week, he lost the ability
to send emails. So I ran virus scans, spyware scans, repaired Office,
and a few other things, but none of that worked. So I put the error
message into my Google tool bar, and found out that a lot of dialup ISP
have blocked port 25, for spam protection, since I stopped using
dialups. So I set him up with the dial up account that came as backup
for our dsl connection, problem solved, and I learned something along
the way. I shoulda just Googled in the first place, but his computer
really did need the spyware scans.
