Outlok Express and ActiveX controls

I am sending email from my company Outlook Express account to my home office Outlook Express account - when clicking on the mail received at home I get the message "Your current security settings prohibit running activeX controls on this page" ---- BUT, emails received from my colleague from same office sending from Outlook Express to my home computer give no such error message.

I know how to revent this message appearing on MY home computer, but my question is - why do mails I send from the office bring up this message at the receiver's end when my colleague's emails do not? I don't want all my receiver's getting this error message when its something I can prevent.

Thanks for any advice.

 

FinlandBlue--
It could be your "stationery ". Do you use a fancy background for your email? (which the others do not?)
A brief description of this here
http://www.scrippy.com/help/mail/oe6.htm (even though it talks about "Scrippy" the same could apply to other stationery)
In OE Tools|Options|Security tab, what box (under "select IE security zone to use ") at the top is checked? If "Restricted sites Zone ", this setting by Default will not permit any ActiveX controls to run. And the stationery suggestion might be the reason your emails are treated differently than emails from others.
If stationery turns out to be the reason, I personally would change my stationery rather than changing the Security tab setting. Too many other security risks.

 

Thanks for that tip - both my office PC and my colleagues office PC had some stationary yes - but not quite the same - I now copied over his stationary to my machine and now email I send home does not bring up the ActiceX control message.

So, all OK now, and thanks again.

 

FinlandBlue--Thanks for posting back. Always good to hear that a suggestion helped.
