Need help with e-mail attachments. I can attach files to
e-mail messages and everything seems OK. I use outlook
express and the e-mail shows up in the sent mail along
with the paperclip.
However when when I retrive the sent message and try and
open attachment the following message appears -
OE deleted this attachment as it was not a secure
attachment. It was simply a word document.
Does anyone know what OE stands for and why the
attachment gets deleted by OE or however. Any help is
appreciated.
Tks.

OE stands for outlook express
uncheck the attachment box in outlook
Tools>options>security, uncheck the box that says something like do not
allow attachments to be opened that may contain a virus.
