incoming attachments

Since I downloaded the last patch for Outlook Express,
every single attachment I have received via email has been
inaccessible. I get a message that "OE has removed access
to the following unsafe attachment." There is nothing
wrong with these attachments, and I can hit the "forward"
button and then open them. I'd like for OE to stop doing
this. What do I do?

In the Tolls/options/security tab, clear the check box
for "block attachments that might be dangerous" or words
to that affect.

Have you ever heard of google.groups.com? Did you know you can search there
for an answer? Did you know that you would have found about 80,000 hits on
this question?

Try it next time - on this one I will give you a pass.
Tools->Options->Security.

In the future, please post your questions to an Outlook Express group.
However, they are a lot testier than this bunch over here in Office Outlook.
Do your homework before posting.

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97-2003 from the Office
family for Windows PCs. For Outlook Express (OE) support try posting in one
of
these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4.outlookexpress for OE 4.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...blic.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress
for OE 5.5x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...ublic.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress
for OE 6.x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...;newsgroupsmicrosoft.public.internet.mail.mac
for the Macintosh version of OE
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...ess.mac&SLCID=US&sd=GN&id=fh;en-us;newsgroups

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)

Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found here:

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the SWEN virus, all mail sent to my personal account will be deleted
