ATTACHMENTS....CAN'T OPEN ANY
MESSAGE SAYS "OE DENIES ACCESS" WHAT THE HECK CAN I DO
 
You might want to try this: Select menu Tools | Options. Select Security tab
and uncheck 'Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened...' and click
OK. Now try accessing the attachments.

HTH.

You might want to look at either the Outlook express group or do a
Google search where you will find THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS
of posts and replies about this.

You could, at the last resort, READ YOUR HELP-README FILE.

help people to help themselves - it's a great philosophy.
 
Greetings --

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, as outlined in the KB
articles below:

Cannot Open E-Mail Attachments in OE After You Install SP1
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q329570

Information About the Unsafe File List in Internet Explorer 6
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;291369

OLEXP Using Virus Protection Features in Outlook Express 6

Also, please unstick your CapsLock key. Posting in all caps, as
you have done, is the Usenet equivalent of shouting, and is considered
very rude by many people. More importantly, posting in all caps makes
the post very hard to read, severely reducing your chances of getting
help.
