How do I prevent Outlook Express from automatically
removing any attachment it "feels" is suspect? I'd like
to make that decision myself. Thanks. Fay
 
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.
