PDF files as attachments

[Nebraska]

I've not previously had problems with receiving any
attachments including PDF files. For some reason, I can
still accept Word, Excel & image files, but any time I get
a PDF file, I get the message "OE removed access to the
following unsafe attachments in your mail: filename.pdf

I even tried to send one from my own machine to myself,
same msg. I thought maybe somewhere under preferences
could tell to not accept any PDFs, but I'm stuck. Thanks
in advance for any assistance

Nebraska,
It could be that your UNzip program has become corrupted.
You might uninstall whatever you have in that catagory and re-install
it... If Winzip, PKZIP or whatever.. I had a similar problem a
couple years ago and I just uninstalled the zip program and redownloaded
a new one and installed it and problem solved.
HTH,

Checked OE's security options yet?
