250020 2004-07-05 09:36:00 I run Win98, Outlook Express 6. I cannot open any pdf files that arrive as attachments. I expect it is my anti virus program that blocks them but I need to open receipts that arrive in this form. What to do? ditto (5845)

250023 2004-07-05 09:48:00 Have a look under Tools -> Options -> Security tab and untick the 'Do not allow attachments to be opened that could potentially be a virus' option.

Hope this helps.

250024 2004-07-05 10:00:00 one thing to watch is for a double extension. make sure the "hide known file extensions" is off in explorer (folder optoins) as it could well be .pdf.exe tweak'e (174)
