Unblock attachments
Outlook 2003
I am trying to attach a document/file to a Contact, however upon trying to save I get the message: This item contains attachments that are potentially unsafe. You may be able to view these attachments after you close them. Do you want to close this item anyway? For more information on unsafe attachments, see the help topic on "Unsafe Attachments". Hitting the 'Yes' button closes the contact, but does not save the attachment with it! Hitting the 'No' button takes me to the "Unsafe Attachments" help screen which tells me how to "unattach" the file !!!!!!!!! (Big help that is) I have tried the Microsoft help file which lists file extns. that are automatically blocked. The file I am trying to attach is not listed as an automatic block. It is a .msg file which has a .pdf attachment - this fails so I tried attaching the .pdf file which also fails !! A colleague using the same version of Outlook can make the attachment work. I have also tried looking in the security settings but cannot identify any likely causes ! Can anybody please help?
