In Outlook Express go to Tools/Options/Security and make sure "Do not allow
attachments to be saved or opened ..." is unchecked.

> I have a new computer that runs Windows XP and I receive my email through
Outlook Express.  Whenever anyone tries to send me something and it comes as
an attatchment, OE claims for security reasons it will not allow me to open
it. I have sent things from work home and it won't let me open them and I
have even tried to trick it by sending something forwarded from my Hotmail
account to my Outlook Express on the same computer (and vice versa) and it
will not allow me to open it. Where do I go to change the settings for this
as my old computer ran Windows 98 and OE and I didn't have this problem. It
seems to be a computer setting because when I send something from OE to
Hotmail hosted by MSN, I still am not allowed to open it for security
reasons. I have McAfee virus scan running.
