OE removed access to the following unsafe attachment in your mail 4

[DrJorde]

I have OE 6.0 on my Win 98 machine. I keep getting the"OE removed access to the following unsafe attachment in your mail" message when a friend attaches a gif or jpg file. How do I fix this.
My Win 2000 machine with OE 6.0 does not have this problem. What can I do?
Thanks DrJorde

Go to Tools--Options--Security and uncheck the box "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus".

Another star awarded... shame Microsoft can't document such a setting... even in the help files of OE itself!

Mseng's Tip worked great on my Win 98 machine! My Win 2000 Pro machine gets mail somwtimes with the pictures blank. I checked it's tools/options/security... and it is not checked. Why would it allow some pictures and not others? Is it the sender? The same sender has forwarded me many others with visible pictures. DrJorde

I have XP, and the setting is there.
Open OE. Click on Tools -> Options.
Then, go to the Security Tab and near the top you have a Check-Box with the message:
"Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus".
Uncheck this.

hth,

LonnieJohnson, it won't appear unless you've installed IE 6 Service Pack 1.
