    I have been using Outlook for a number of years and never had a problem in opening attachments. I am now on Outlook Express and when I receive some attachments they will not let me open them. OE calls them unsafe attachments but I know what they are and they are safe. Is there a way of turning this feature off in OE?:confused:

    Yeah, you'll find it by opening OE, >TOOLS > OPTIONS > SECURITY > and unchecking the box that says, "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus. "

    Cheers. :)
