Restoring Outlook Express' ability to view attachments

Outlook Express 6 has a "feature" that blocks attachments that Microsoft deems "unsafe". It is usually on by default, and will also occasionaly become re-enabled.

To disable this feature:

  • In Outlook Express, click on Tools, then Options.
  • Click on the Security tab.
  • Uncheck the box that says "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus".
  • Click OK.
