security in outlook express

[lulu]

I have tried posting this message in outlook express news group, but I
havent had any repsonse yet.
Please help..
In outlook epress I have a tick in the box in tools/options/security... do
not allow
attachments to be opened or saved that could be potentially be a virus. But
today I can open and save attachments. How do I make the security feature
work again?
It used to work for me a few days ago, I dont know what I have done for it
not to work.
Many thanks for any help

Well you certainly didn't post it in the OE6 newsgroup......

 

[lulu]

I did but maybe its not the same one as you have. The one i posted it into
is.. microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.outlookexpress.
What is the name of the news group that I should have posted it in?
So can you help me anyway? ...Please?

I've just done a search in that group on your name and it came up with
zilch........

*The* OE6-specific newsgroup on the MS newsserver is

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress

and *not*

microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.outlookexpress

[ 'underscore', not 'period' ]

Some other newsservers continue to propagate the latter erroneously. The
former is quite active.
