Read the message a little closer. They are not being deleted.

OE>Tools>Options>Security Tab. Uncheck: "Do not allow
attachments........."

Please see these links about virus protection in OE 6.

Greetings --

Nothing has been "deleted." Try reading the warning message more
carefully.

Outlook Express' default security settings are simply trying to
protect you. OE has no way of telling whether an attachment actually
contains a virus or not, so it temporarily blocks any of those file
types that could potentially contain a virus. In Outlook Express,
Tools > Options > Security, uncheck the "Do not allow attachments to
be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" option, assuming
you trust the source, of course. The wiser course of action, however,
would be to modify your list of unsafe files, as outlined in the KB
articles below:
