I have not actually used this application, but as it makes the end user
think still when opening attachments...:

Other options that open it up more permanently:

Also - check out this page on AntiVirus/Firewalls and Adware/Spyware. You
may find some information useful to you there:

As well as read the stuff after my signature - likely find the answer on
your own more easily next time. =)

The ability to get at attachments to email in OE6 SP1 is disabled for
security reasons... BUT you can enable it an get at all those attachments.
Here's what you need to do:
Open OE6 and select tools/options
Select the security tab
Make sure the check box beside "Do not allow attachments to be saved or
opened that could potentially be a virus" is unchecked and you should be
OK(as long as the attachment is not a virus).

Greetings --

Outlook Express' default security settings are simply trying to
protect you. OE has no way of telling whether an attachment actually
contains a virus or not, so it temporarily blocks any of those file
types that could potentially contain a virus. In Outlook Express,
Tools > Options > Security, uncheck the "Do not allow attachments to
be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" option, assuming
you trust the source, of course. The wiser course of action, however,
would be to modify your list of unsafe files, as outlined in the KB
articles below:
