If you go to OEtoolsoptionssecurity taband remove the
check mark from the 4th one down it may resolve this problem for you.

Every attachment is potentially unsafe even if it is from a known and
trusted
source and IT IS EXPECTED.

Reactivate after reading the attachment.

previously asked questions over many years, a very useful site.

Is "Do not allow attachments............" under Tools | Options | Security
checked? If that is not the answer, give us more to go on. Error messages?
What happens when you try? etc.

If you recently downloaded SP2 check security settings:
With outlook express open; Open from to menu bar TOOLS
then Options;
Under Options select the "security" Tab
Uncheck the block that says:
"Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentialy
be a Virus"

I have the same problem, but I did as you and many others have said and it
still doesn't work. Anymore advice?

You would do best to start your own thread and explain in detail your
problem in its entirety. Meanwhile, see this:

You may have to unblock the attachment with the Attachment Manager.
