| 93348 | 2002-10-27 00:35:00 | system is windows xp 2000 home edition - have been trying to send an attachment to family with above system without success - was there recently so checked it out - message in mail is - "outlook blocks access to the following potentially unsafe attachments" ??? - these include .exe - is there a way to overcome this? | jayal (1291) | ||
| 93349 | 2002-10-27 00:44:00 | easy way is to zip the attachment before you send it. that way outlook won't block it. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 93350 | 2002-10-27 02:42:00 | I use Outlook 2000 but the principal will be about the same in other versions. Open Outlook > Tools > Options > Security > Change the setting from High to Low > Apply/Ok. This should allow attachments to be received. If you are referring to Outlook Express is is almost the same ...Tools > Options > Security and change the setting to suit your requirements. |

| 93352 | 2002-10-27 11:15:00 | They will have the same problem next time they receive an attachment, not everyone sends a zip attachment. All they need to do is: In Outlook, click on Tools, Options. Then click on the Security tab Remove the tick from 'Do not allow attachment to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus' If they want this security put the tick back in after they have opened the attachment. |
