Every time an attachment is sent to Outlook Express OE
always removes it. We have Windows XP and a Firewall
on. All addresses originate from our address book but
still cannot open any attachments. Any ideas would be
gratefully appreciated.
 
Hi

Try this:

Tools>Options>Security - uncheck 'Do not allow attachments to be saved...'. Restart OE. If you do uncheck this option please check all attachments for viruses before you open them.
 
I have the same problem at Will Denny. I've unchecked the attachment option,
I've shut down my firewall, etc. and I still can't open them. I can open
some but not all.

Hi

Are there any particular file extensions being blocked? Have you made sure that the built-in XP firewall is disabled?
 
Attachments from programs such as Word ,Excel, PowerPoint, etc can't be
opened unless you have that application on your computer (or a reader for
that application).
