Outlook 2002 behaves this way on purpose. It's so that any trojans in the
attachments won't run automatically if you have your preview pane enabled.
If Microsoft hadn't made Outlook an active agent in the first place, so that
it runs what it receives, this issue would never have arisen.

Does anyone know how to overcome this - is there an overide ?

There is a shareware (donationware) product available from

control which attachments are protected and which are not.
