outlook express removed access to an unsafe attachment in
mail. How do I prevent them from doing this? I really
need this attachment. NOW!
 
Alas, that is a security measure built in. You may be able to search and
find instructions for some Registry tweaking that will get around it (modify
your Registry very carefully, though), but the simplest way is to have the
originator ZIP the file and resend it. ZIP files aren't blocked, not yet,
anyway. I am not sure, however, that the original attachment will still be
available; it may be gone forever.

This isn't, BTW, a general newsgroup nor one for Outlook Express; it is
dedicated to Microsoft Access database software and it was only happenstance
that someone here could respond to your question.

In OE, click on Tools | Options | Security, and then uncheck the box next to
the text "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that potentially
could be a virus."
