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

["Doogie Brodie" <doogiebrodie@xxxxxxx>]

Title: Message

Came close-ish - if you save the file as outlook message (.msg) the exe is embedded in this (exe's start MZ and it ends just before the outlook stuff at the end of the file) but when I copied the bits out of this and into a new file, the carriage returns had gone, making the file no worky :-(  Perhaps some hex editing might be able to get a better result.

 

Is it possible to get the file resent, and either use a different client, or have the file UUEncoded.....?

 

Sorry...!

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.

 

HTH

    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 ?
