OE Attachments

[tttiiiggger]

When I receive mail with attachments it gives a message
with the following statement when I try to view the
attachment:

OE removed access to the following unsafe attachements in
your mail

Is there a setting that needs to be changed to allow the
attachments through?

Are the attachments still there?

Yes, the attachment is still there. This is a new security feature that can
be toggled on/off via Tools | Options | Security tab | second checkbox from
the top concerning attachments.

Actually this NG is about Outlook, not OE - but to answer your question,
click on Tools / Options / Security and then uncheck the 4th item down.
However, don't just leave it that way. After receiving the hopefully
non-virus infected attachment, go back and add a check mark to the 4th item.
It offers a measure of virus protection.

Thank you both for your help. Greatly appreciated. It now
works.

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97, 98, 2000, 2002 & 2003 from
the Office family for Intel 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
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.mail.mac for the Macintosh version of OE

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).
