Unsafe Attachments Removed by OE

[Leon]

During the last couple of days I have been sending e-mails
with attached files from my office to my home computer
which is running Windows XP. When I get home I find the e-
mail arrives without the attachments. There's a little
message that says OE has removed the unsafe attachments. I
presume there's some kind of security flag set within OE
that results in the stripping of these files, but I can't
figure out how to change it. Does anyone know how to turn
this 'feature' off? Many thanks,

Leon
