I'm having the same problem several others have posted
here. When I send or try to receive attachments I get
the following message: "OE removed access to the
following unsafe attachments in your mail..." On the
advice of my computer manufacturer's tech. support
person, I've disabled Norton. That produced no change.

Another wrinkle: Even though I get that message,
sometimes the file sent goes through, but sometimes it
doesn't.

This is a new computer, with a new ISP.

I can't see where anyone has answered these questions on
this newsgroup. Thanks in advance to anyone who can
help. - Michael

Click to expand...

The message states that Outlook Express has removed the attachments. It would
make sense then that the settings for Outlook Express is where you should be
looking.

Try...

Tools - Options - Security Tab - Checkbox labeled "Do not allow attachments to
be saved or open that could potentially be a virus.
 
OE6 has a new security feature that will disallow attachments with certain
extensions (exe, mdb, lnk etc). To switch this off go to Tools/Options then
on the Security tab remove the tick from the "Do not allow attachments to be
saved or opened........" box.
