Go to tools/options/security and uncheck the box "Do not allow
attachments--------- This is a security feature in Outlook Express 6

Meloca,

If you are sure that the attachment is safe to download or open, use the
following method:

Turn off the Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could
potentially be a virus option:

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.
