Blocked access to attachments

[Ruth Kaplan]

All too often I cannot open attachments to E-mails. I get
a message saying OE has blocked access to unsafe
attachment. The latest was a picture of a baby! Is there
any way I can override this blockage??

To access attachments in Outlook Express:
Tools | Options | Security and UNcheck the box "Do Not allow attachments to be
saved or opened that could potentially be a virus".

If you do decide to uncheck this option PLEASE don't forget to scan for
viruses and other nasties ALL of your attachments irrespective of whether sent
from a friend or not before making any attempt to open or run them. It is
users failure to carry out such simple precautions that allows viruses such as
Swen & MyDoom to spread so quickly.
