OE6 Removed access to unsafe attachment
Greetings all,
I am new here and need help. As a test, I sent myself an email with a Cryptomite self-extracting encrypted file attached. This, understandably, is an executable [*.exe] file and Outlook Express, reasonably, dislikes such attachments. Is there any way to TELL Outlook Express - at the receiving end - that, exceptionally, this particular attachment IS safe to open. (At present the attachment Open and Save options are both greyed out) Thanks in advance teabag

Re: OE6 Removed access to unsafe attachment
Tools | Options | Security. Uncheck: "Do not allow
attachments.................". Make sure you keep your anti-virus up-to-date and never open attachments from people you don't know. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "teabag" <nobody@home.com> wrote in message news:46qdnQEhfpcR6xnV4p2dnAA@pipex.net... > Greetings all, > > I am new here and need help. > > As a test, I sent myself an email with a Cryptomite self-extracting > encrypted file attached.

Re: OE6 Removed access to unsafe attachment
Thank you Bruce, I should have known that. (With the relevant box unchecked
the executable executed just fine). teabag "Bruce Hagen" <Nospam@mymail.invalid> wrote in message news:evCC7bz6IHA.1592@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Tools | Options | Security.
