Blocked attachment

[J.Bloch]

Using outlook express under Windows XP professional, I am
getting an email with an .exe attachment that is blocked
by outlook express. I know the source and can trust it.
How do I reset it to allow it to be saved?

Try this site for information on removing the block:

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:

Why should the OP need a free tool? All he needs to do is go to
Tools-Options-Security and uncheck the box which denies access to
attachments......

Your right Gordy...........I did not pay attention to the version in
the original message. Yes Outlook Express has this option.
