Outlook Express' default security settings are simply trying to
protect the recipient. OE has no way of telling whether an attachment
actually contains a virus or not, so it temporarily blocks any of
those file types that could potentially contain a virus. In Outlook
Express, Tools > Options > Security, uncheck the "Do not allow
attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus"
option, assuming he trusts the source, of course. The wiser course of
action, however, would be to modify your list of unsafe files, as
outlined in the KB articles below:
