Re: OE HAS REMOVED UNSAFE ATTACHMENTS??

I FOUND OUT THE ANSWER..YOU CAN ALSO JUST HIT FORWARD AND IT GIVES YOU
ACCESS TO THE FILE..MIKE



With the introduction of Outlook Express 6, Microsoft has added an
additional feature to prevent customers from infecting their machines with
viruses. Outlook Express uses the Internet Explorer unsafe file list and the
Confirm open after download setting in Folder Options to determine if a file
is safe. Any e-mail attachment with a file type that is reported as "unsafe"
is not downloaded, and access to the attachment is removed. However there
are times, you may want to view an attachment that Outlook Express has
deemed as unsafe. In these cases, follow these instructions to allow Outlook
Express to show the attachment. Start Outlook Express. On the Tools menu,
click Options. Click the Security tab, click to clear the Do not allow
attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus check
box under Virus Protection, and then click OK. To better protect yourself
from viruses, its a good idea to leave this option checked unless you
definitely want to open the attachment. Another way to help protect yourself
from email viruses infecting your computer if you use Outlook Express is to
disable the Preview Pane. There are certain viruses that will infect a
computer even if you just preview the message. To disable the preview pane:
Start Outlook Express Click on View, Layout Uncheck the Show Preview Pane,
and then click OK.
