I've never seen OE actually delete an attachment, it's security setting
though could keep you from opening it. Click Tools, Option, Security tab
and see if the box that states "Do not allow attachments to be saved
or.......", if it is, uncheck it.

Nothing has been deleted.
Outlook Express' default security settings are simply trying to
protect you. 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
you trust 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:
