Default Outlook Express 6.0

It is removing access to "unsafe" attachments to I can't
open them. Even though I know there are safe.

What is happening is that Outlook Express 6 is restricting your access to
attachments. To access attachments in Outlook Express 6:Tools | Options |
Security and UNcheck the box "Do Not allow attachments to be saved or
opened that could potentially be a virus".

If you do decide to uncheck this option PLEASE don't forget to scan for
viruses and other nasties ALL of your attachments irrespective of whether
sent from a friend or not before making any attempt to open or run them.
It is users failure to carry out such simple precautions that allows
viruses such as Swen & MyDoom to spread so quickly.

Hi there,
Had the same problem. slution is: go to topbar: Extra,
then select options, the probably security or
something alike (I have a different language windows), and
in the following screen deselect an option offering to
block 'unsafe attachments'.
