Outlook Express cannot remove attachments. [Oh that it could (and yes for
those interested I do know how to do this manually, what I'd like is a button
that allowed me to do so within OE).] However Outlook Express 6 can prevent
_access_ to potentially unsafe attachments.

To access attachments in Outlook Express:
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.
