Outlook Express 6

[B.A. Whalen]

My OE6 automatically removes all attachments and gives the following notice:
"OE removed access to the following unsafe attachments in your mail." It
does this regardless of any harm the email may or may not contain. My
question is this: How do I change my current settings so that attachments
will not be removed before I have an opportunity to make that decision for
myself? Thanks.
