Why does OE remove access to attachments?

[Helen]

When I receive emails with attachments, the attachments
are removed even when I know the attachments are 'safe'

What can I do?

 

[cycomiko]

there is an option in tools--->options where you can disable outlook
express's default blocking of attachments

I had this same problem. Open Outlook Express, go to
Tools, then Options, click on the Security tab and click
off the option that states you do not want attachments to
be saved that could potentially be a virus. This will get
rid of your problem.

this newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003(beta) from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!
