No version of Outlook has security settings that would prevent you from reading messages. Do you have an anti-virus program running that has an email scanning feature? If so, turn that feature off.

I seem to be locked into a very high security level in 2007 beta such that I
cannot even see my e-mail messages, only the header, and I do not have any
way of changing it as far as I can see. When I view the trust center there
are no check boxes, etc. just a description of the security level, ie "view
all e-mails as text", no way to allow html, etc. any suggestions?
