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