Outlook blocking attachments

[Gorge Bush]

Hi there,
we have recently migrated our Exchange Server to 2003. Most of
the users have Outlook 2000. Since the migration, users cannot open
attachments that Outlook considers to be unsafe. We have applied the patch
locally as specified in KB:318515 and on the Exchange Server as specified in
KB:263297 but users are still having attachments blocked.
Is this a problem of using OL2000 with EX2003?

I've just discovered a temporary solution for this. Log on to your mail
account using Outlook Web Access. It lets you save any attachments that are
blocked in the Windows version!

Applied Office SP3 and all is well again.

I found this very usefull link that Sue Mosher had posted:

I don't know why this info was not in the MS KB articles though.
