Cannot open attachments.... however if I send myself one
it will open??

Is there a setting to fix, or what?

Thanks
Fred
 
1. Start Outlook Express.
2. On the Tools menu, click Options.
3. Click the Security tab, click to clear the "Do not allow attachments to be
saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" check box under
Virus Protection, and then click OK.

Hi Fred
The tick box to correct this is in the options menu.
I don't run this programme but am aware a little of that
prob.
best of luck...

Fred:
Tools, options, security, uncheck the "Do not allow Attachments to be saved
or opened". This is a security measure to block against virus'. Make sure
you are very careful about opening attachments, as this is how the majority
of virus' are spread.
I hope this helps.
