Outlook 2000 SR1 and attachments

[mufka]

After updating to SR1, I can't receive executable attachments with Outlook
2000. This is set up as internet only. There has to be a way to get it to
prompt.

Any ideas?

This is a 'feature' I'm afraid - I (and other colleagues) have refused point blank to apply any patches to outlook becuase of the functionality loss it creates - we are just very careful about what we are sending and receiving.

One work around is to have the executables come through as .zip files

Top Tip - do not password protect the zip files - if the exchange server is using groupshield it will strip the attachment off and quarintine it as it can't scan the file as it is encrypted.
