| 255959 | 2004-07-28 04:54:00 | Have you recently upgraded to OE 6.0? If so, go to Tools > Options > Security and remove the tick from beside "remove unsafe attachments etc ...". See if this helps. | Jen C (20) | ||
| 255960 | 2004-07-28 05:02:00 | Hey - Thanks for that - can now open - BUT I guess I'm vulnerable to 'suspicious' attachments now. | aandhwhite (1165) | ||
| 255961 | 2004-07-28 05:08:00 | As long as you save your attachments to your hard drive and scan them with an up-to-date anti-virus program before opening the attachments your computer should be safe from viruses. . |

That is true . . you will need to apply commonsense to opening any attachment as you should do normally anyway . If in doubt save it to your hard drive and then right-click on the file name and select your Antivirus scanner program to check it out before opening it . :) MS went a bit overboard with preventing people from opening up their jpg attachments with this *security* feature . |
