I received email that has attachments but they're removed
by Outlook because they're "unsafe"

How can I stop this from happening?
I use Windows XP

Thank you
 
Outlook, or Outlook Express?

For the former, http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup/getexe.htm

For the latter,

See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q291387 -

Option 1: Click forward on the message w/the attachment and open it from
there (you don't have to click Send on the new message)

Option 2: look in tools, options, security, and untick the box.
If you go with option 2, make sure you have good antivirus software running
that also scans mail - and keep it updated regularly.

A good website for information on OE is:

Hi

If you mean Outlook Express:

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):
