I just started using OE. I have installed McAfee
VirusScan, Firewall and Spamkiller. When I recieve an e-
mail from someone, which has attachments, I can't open
the attachments. I get a message which says "OE removed
access to the following unsafe attachments in yourmail:
(it then lists the attachment file i.e. xyz.jpg).

I thought it might be the VirusScan or Spamkiller so I
sent myself an e-mail with an attachment that had been
scanned by VirusScan and which was clean. The message
went through however I could not view the attachment.

I disabled VirusScan and Spamkiller and tried again. Same
result.

Am I doung something wrong or is there something in OE
(Outlook Express ???) which prevents attachments comming
through?

Any ideas or comments would be appreciated. Thanks.
