30813 2002-01-12 00:01:00 Hi
I am running OE6 on windows 98 SE. suddenly I am unable to open, read or save attachments to my incoming emails. The paper clip is there, when clicked it displays the list of attachments but they are greyed out and are inaccessible.
Any ideas?

What are the extensions on the attachments.

30818 2002-01-12 11:10:00 I had similar problem after going from ie5.5 to ie6. Outlook Express has upgraded the security ratings. Go to Tools/Options/Security, and uncheck the box 'Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could contain a virus'. Be warned you will now have to be more vigilant before opening your attachments. Guest (0)
