Default OE removing "unsafe" attachments

My Outlook Express 6.0 is removing what it calls "unsafe" attachments. But
several times they have been perfectly safe attachments from trusted
colleagues and it is very frustrating when I cannot access them. How do I
solve the problem?


1. Start Outlook Express.
2. On the Tools menu, click Options.
3. 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.
See:

Eric, please read
