I am using Outlook 2000 (and I probably downloaded
security patches at some point).

Someone sent me an .exe file that I know is safe, but
Outlook won't let me access the damn thing.

Is there anyway to access it? I don't think I can access
it from the mail server again because the e-mail message
was deleted from the server after it was downloaded.

This is a really stupid feature if you can't access the
file in any way.

There's also a little program called TweakOL, which does this for you
automatically. It is freeware and obtainable at: http://www.McDev.com
