Thanks very much Vincenzo. Is there any way to access an attachment that
has been blocked, or do I have to have them resend it after performing
the action you advised?

You can access the attachment after performing the action I advised, Eric.

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.
