Stripped news attachment

[John Olson]

On a Corel newsgroup, there was a message with a WPD attachment. However, my
newsreader stripped this attachment.

I understand that with the various MS patches that EXE and such type
attachments might be stripped, but I'm surprised about the WPD file. (I was
able to get it by forwarding the message to myself.)

Anyone know why the above happened...or if it should?

Thx

Sorry for the addition, but perhaps the following info is important:
I have Windows XP Professional SP1 with Outlook 2000 SP3 (Internet Mail Only
version).

Hi - Outlook doesn't read news; it uses OE for that. If you open the
message, click forward, you can open the attachment, and not have to disable
the attachment blocking feature outright (if you want to do the latter, go
to tools | options | security and tick the box.)

See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q291387

Also note:
This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

A good website for information on OE is:

Thanks for the info.
I thought this news reader from separate from OE since it says Microsoft
Outlook Newsreader at the top...and the application selected under Internet
tools for news is MS Outlook, not OE.

Yes, but if you go to the newsreader's Help menu and look at the About
command, it says About Microsoft Outlook Express...and if you click on it,
you get the Outlook Express version info.
