Outlook Express email

[MelvinC]

My system is WindowsXP Pro with Outlook Express 7. I am trying to send
suspicious looking email, as an attachment, to an antiphishing workgroup at
address (e-mail address removed) . Outlook Express blocks it as spam.
How do I work around this problem? Thank you for your help.
Sincerely Melvin

You ask in a group with OE in the title. You notice THIS group LACKS
that.

Ask elsewhere

Two things come to mind.

First, AFAICT, there is no release version of Outlook Express 7. OE stops
at v.6; v.7 became Windows Mail for Vista during the Vista beta, some time
ago. If you are actually using OE7, it wouldn't be a surprise that it
might misbehave, being old and unfinished code.

Second, OE and Windows Mail do not block mail as spam. An antivirus or
firewall located on your system, the receiving system, or one of the mail
servers involved might, but it won't be OE doing it. OE6 does have a
setting that can prevent *opening* received attachments, but they are there
and the setting can be disabled.

You'll need to pay closer attention to the details of what is happening.

According to the headers the computer Melvin used to post has OE6 not
OE7 installed.

Um, OE7 doesn't exist.

I am sure Patrick and I knew that so what was the point of your post?

The fact that neither you nor Patrick are the only people who read this
newsgroup?

Please bottom post or remove your sig with its delimiter so that normal
news readers won't nuke everything but your message.

Your system does not have OE 7 installed. I assume that it has OE6 SP2.

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no
protection not provided by the regular resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
Outlook Express and should be uninstalled. The latest version of Trend's
anti-virus seems to be causing problems too.

Does anyone know how to configure the spell check in OE. My OE spell check
has switched to another language (not english) and I have no idea how to get
it back to it's original setting.

Please start your own thread in the future instead of latching on to another
that has nothing to do with your problem. Thank you.

Is your spell check in French? Did you install Office 2007?

You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in Outlook
Express 6.0 after you install the 2007 Microsoft Office system:

Office 2007 breaks OE's spell check. Downloading a free spell check is the
simplest way around this.

TinySpell:
http://www.tinyspell.m6.net/ (Checks the spelling as you type).

If you have a previous version of Office, see this:

Perhaps by asking in a group with OE in the title? Perhaps by
