I'm running Outlook Express Version 6 and get the
following message when I open e-mail with
attachements: "OE has removed access to the following
unsafe attachments in your e-mail."

Apparently, OE has some default setting that I need to
turn off. Question is where?? I forwarded these e-mails
to my home address from work so I want to retrieve the
attachements. Anyone know?? I tried the Tools pulldown
menu for message rules without luck.

Go to Tools/Options/Security Under the Virus Protection
section-Uncheck the option which says "Do not allow
attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially
be a virus" this will fix your problem. This is the
default setting for it to be checked in case you don't
have any virus protection.
