Title: Message

What I had to do on my girlf's OE account to get around this:-

 

Select message

Choose Forward

 

New window will pop up with the attachment shown as a friendly file icon

 

Drag the offending file out to desktop/ a n other location.

 

Let me know if it works on Outlook.

Subject: [ukha_d] [OT] Outlook Security update - can't d/l attachments

    I have (just changed to) Outlook 2000 and installed most of the latest updates - one of which is the security update. It appears that this 'patch' causes Outlook to block access to any attachment that has for example an extension .EXE. Called a type 1 file.

 

    From reading the help file I can't see any way around this - surely I must be able to download a .EXE attachment somehow ???!  Worse still the message is now deleted off my pop mail server at the ISP so I can't download it with another client.

 

    Can I work around this ?
