Receiving Attachments in Outlook Express
In Outlook Express, the default configuration prevents opening or saving attachments on received emails that have potentially dangerous contents. Often times it also prevents access to attachments that are perfectly safe and valid.
If Outlook Express blocks access to an attachment you need, you can turn this feature off as follows:
-
Go to the Tools menu
-
Select Options
-
Go to the Security tab
-
Uncheck the box next to Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus.
Outlook Express will now no longer attempt to protect you from attachments containing viruses.
