...With OE open I have selected "tools" - "internet options"
- "security tab" but I do not have an option to mark or unmark "to allow
attachments".

Try *OE* (not IE) Tools Options Security Virus Protection ...

You're running outdated and much less-secure versions of OE, IE and Windows.
Get WinXP SP2 installed ASAP then check in at Windows Update to install
critical updates offered.

I am using XP Pro Ver 5.1 (build 2600.xpsp2.050301-1526 : service pack1)
OE6 (6.00.2800.1807) This is on my laptop as I am using it since my
desktop
crashed. OE is blocking attachments to emails and any graphics that are a
part of the email. With OE open I have selected "tools" - "internet
options"
- "security tab" but I do not have an option to mark or unmark "to allow
attachments". I hope this makes my question clearer ???

That is only for XP/SP2. You ask what to do next, but you haven't stated
your problem. Include your Windows version.

I have reviewed the messages that explain, to some degree, the issue. I
am
confused as I follow the steps - tools - options - security tab - but I
don't have the same options as shown on the example. I can't uncheck an
option that I don't have on the screen. What to do next ????
