outlook express (attachments)

[Guest]

I just downloaded the new security patches for my outlook
express program from Microsoft. It blocks all the
attachments that people send to me. Is their away to
disable that feature or is it the security patch that I
downloaded. I have to say that it was a recommended patch
for my computer.

hit forward, then save the attachment

It's a new security feature to prevent accidental opening of viruses, either
by yourself or scripting. you can disable it in tools | options | security,
but I think the extra effort to hit forward is safer and well worth the
extra click.
