Outlook Express Access

[Bill O'Shea]

I downloaded the patches Microsoft suggested and since my
Outlook Express won't let me open any attchments. It gives
the message;
OE removed access to the following unsafe attachment in
your mail;
This now happens on all email sent attachments.
Can anyone help me?

1) Open Outlook Express
2) Click on 'Tools-Options'.
3) Click on the 'Security' tab.
4) Uncheck 'Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could
potentially
be a virus'.
5) Click 'Apply' then 'OK'.

Keep in mind that this will allow unsafe attachments to be sent to you. Be
aware of then when attempting to open them.

the servic patch change the original security setting

open OE
Tools> options > security tag
clear the selection "do not allow attachments to be saved
or opened that could potentially be a virus"

It would be at your own risk to do so.

make sure you have antivirus to have such attachment
scanned
