attachments to my E-Mails are being removed by OE as
being insecure. How do I access them?
These include visa statements scanned to me in
Australia, virgin E tickets which I need and for some
reason a club newsletter?

hopeful of an answer Sue
 
Hi Sue

Try this:

In OE go to Tools>Options>Security and uncheck 'Do not allow attachments to be saved...'. Restart OE. If you do uncheck this options please make sure that you virus check all attachments before opening them.

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:
