Can you retrieve an attachement on an email that has been
removed by "OE". I sent the email to my home and I know
that is has no virus on it. I need the attachment and I
cannot find it in any of the virus files.

Hi

Take a look at the following MS knowledge base articles (Copy and paste the
URL address lines into your IE address bar if they are not clickable):

Cannot Open E-Mail Attachments in OE After You Install SP1

OLEXP Using Virus Protection Features in Outlook Express 6

The ability to get at attachments to email in OE6 SP1 or later is disabled
for security reasons... BUT you can enable it an get at all those
attachments. Here's what you need to do:
Open OE6 and select tools/options
Select the security tab
Make sure the check box beside "Do not allow attachments to be saved or
opened that could potentially be a virus" is unchecked and you should be
OK(as long as the attachment is not a virus).
