190003 2003-11-07 23:11:00 I've got an XP machine with OE and all the latest updates, ... etc. The problem is, I can't receive any attachments; error says that "OE removed access to the following attachment in your mail: filename..." There is no firewall installed in this machine.

How do I deactivate this feature?

Cheers

190004 2003-11-07 23:19:00 Have a look at FAQ #17 Cannot open email attachments in Outlook Express (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) stu140103 (137)
190005 2003-11-07 23:21:00 By the way, that FAQ maybe a bit slow loading

Hope this helps

190006 2003-11-09 00:03:00 Thanks, stu140103.

Unchecked "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" in OE and everything's fine now. :)

But, strangely, another machine with similar configuration with the above feature ticked could download attachments without any problem! ?:|

Any explanation?

190007 2003-11-09 01:58:00 depends on what the attachments are....OE will normally block .exe .doc vbs and a few others. also it depends on what ver of OE and OE patches you have as the file list is a bit different. tweak'e (174)
