I made up an Excel spreadsheet with simple names and
addresses on a computer using Windows XP Home addition. I
then tried to send it via email to myself to be picked up
on another computer using XP Professional.
When I called up the email on the XP professional I get
the message " OE removed access to the following unsafe
attachments from the mail".
What cn I do to keep this from happening and how can I
get the spreadsheet from the emal?
 
1. Start Outlook Express.
2. On the Tools menu, click Options.
3. Click the Security tab, click to clear the "Do not allow attachments to be
saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" check box under
Virus Protection, and then click OK.
