How can I get e-mail attachments past the blocker?

[Number One]

I am using Outlook 2003 on my new XT computer operating system. I am unable
to receive attachments that I sent to myself from the office.

See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup/getexe.htm for ways to get the
attachments off.

Note that in my previous respone, the "10.0" is variable depending on
the version of Outlook installed. For Outlook 2003, you want to make
that 11.0 instead of 10.0, or 9.0 for Office 2000.

You have to make an undocumented registry edit to get outlook to allow
certain types of attachments:


1. Make sure that Outlook is not running.
2. Open Regedit
3. Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Security
4. Choose EDIT | NEW | String Value
5. Name the new string Level1Remove
6. Right Click on Level1Remove and choose Modify
7. For its value enter the file extensions that you do not want to be
blocked (use a semicolon to separate each file extension). An example,
exactly as it would be entered:

..exe;.mdb;.url

8. Close Regedit and you are done.

In step 3, the "10.0" is dependent on the version of Outlook, and could
be 9.0, 10.0 or 11.0 (or, next year, presumably, 12.0)
