OE6 Removes Attachments.

I recently upgraded from Internet Explorer 5.5 to 6. This upgraded Outlook Express from 5 to 6. I often send e-mail with attachments. Now a photo (.jpg) still gets through, but suddenly OE6 is removing other extents even though OE5 allowed them. A message says, "OE removed access to the following unsafe attachments in your mail." They aren't unsafe. What can I change to let them through?
