I have two computers on a network. They have Windows 2000
and Outlook Express as the external email. Both receive
the same message with a .doc attachment. One has the
attachment stripped off since applying the latest security
patch. If I forward the one which has the attachment to
the other via external e-mail then it lets it through. I
have gone through MKBA - 291387 but I am unable to resolve
this problem. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.

Regards
Ed

I suppose you have checked Tools/Options/Security/ and looked at the boxes
checked?
 
No - Outlook is a totally separate program (part of Office - OE is not). OE
groups are here -

microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

A good website for information on OE is:
