Disable attachment message

[Darryl Burnette]

We are using Outlook 2003 and users complain of having to be prompted to
open attachments it says: You should only open attachments from a
trustworthy source. The option to Always ask before opening this type of
file is greyed out. My question is where is this controlled from
I have looked at the Outlook security settings and nothing seems to allow me
to give the user a choice. Is this controlled by a group policy could not
find it there either ?

TIA

Darryl

You didn't dig deep enough. Security tab, Change auto download settings
button, uncheck Don't d/l HTML...etc. Leave Warn me of errors checked.

That's not the same thing. He is asking about the open/save dialog, not web
content.

Darryl: does it happen to all file types or just specific ones? Did you set
some blocked file types to be unblocked? Level2 types will always ask and it
can't be changed. If it does it for safe types like doc and jpg, make sure
they weren't accidentally added as level2's.

Diane,

Thanks for response. I only know that I get the message for a word doc.

I got the message when I opened a word doc but I was able uncheck the Always
ask before opening this type of file.

all of our settings in the outlook security file are set to do not prompt
for attachments all others are set to automaticly approve
