235576 2004-05-10 22:22:00 Hi,
over the last few weeks incoming mails with attachments have been automatically sanitised such that for instance JPEG images are changed on the email from attachments into imbedded images. The email still shows an attachment, but double clicking on the "paperclip" gives the message "OE removed accesss to the following unsafe attachments in your mail: {list}". They are greyed out on the attachment list.

This is very annoying to say the least. I run Win 98, NAV. I have no idea who what "OE " is or how to disable this function. ISP is Xtra and I have their SPAM filter activated.

This is a common problem as OE by default is set to prevent all attachments being received. To fix:

Open OE
Click on Tools | Options | Security Tab | then untick Do not allow attachments to be saved................

Click OK out of there should fix it.

HTH

Always scan those attachements with antivirus prog as a precaution, even from known scources.
