e-mail attachments being screened and removed
Thank your antivirus.
Microsoft NEVER sends attachments or patches unsolicited. They are most likely a virus: http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/bogmail.htm -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/ wrote in message ... e-mail attachments are being screened and removed by OE so that I cannot receive any at all...all the time..... |

e-mail attachments being screened and removed
Hi - this is because of an update in OE.
Make sure your antivirus software scans mail, and that you keep it updated. Then go to tools | options | security and untick the obvious box in there. If you go to help | readme in OE it will tell you more. wrote: e-mail attachments are being screened and removed by OE so that I cannot receive any at all...all the time..... |

e-mail attachments being screened and removed
Greetings --
The attachments haven't actually been removed. 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: Cannot Open E-Mail Attachments in OE After You Install SP1 http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q329570 Information About the Unsafe File List in Internet Explorer 6 http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;291369 OLEXP Using Virus Protection Features in Outlook Express 6 http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;291387 Bruce Chambers -- Help us help you: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once. -- RAH wrote in message ... e-mail attachments are being screened and removed by OE so that I cannot receive any at all...all the time..... |
