My daughter uses McAfee and her outlook Express 6.x presently does not allow
her with McAfee to open Attachments.

I myself use Norton, but I looked to-day at her computer, but could see
nothing that prevents her not opening Attachments.

Did I miss something.

She wants to be able to open attachments that friends send her.

She uses WindowsXP and the latest OE.

Probably. By default, OE won't allow attachments to be opened. Of
course, that can all be changed by changing the settings in OE. It has
nothing to do with the AV program.

OE: Tools > Options > Security tab. Uncheck "Do not open attachments..."

Some Windoze updates apparently change this setting to "checked" even if
you had it unchecked beforehand.
