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 ????

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

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 ???

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You're running outdated and much less-secure versions of OE, IE and Windows.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.

Thank you so much for pointing this out to me. Not all of us are the sharpest
pencil in the drawer and have the time to "get the latest and greatest". The
only time it becomes an issue is when something happens and we don't know
which way to jump. That's why there are these kind of great sites for
assistance. Again, Thanks Much!!!

You are looking in the wrong program. "Internet Options" means you are
looking in IE. In OE it is at Tools, OPTIONS.

The setting you are looking for is in all version of OE6 since the
original.

at and realized I was in the wrong program. I have since unchecked the
approiate item and we'll see what effect it has on my normal coorespondence
with my email community. Again THANK MUCH!!!

You are welcome.

Even us not-so-neophytes can go meandering and not get where we want to
