IE6 removes access to "unsafe" attachments

    How can I stop IE6 doing this? I accept that there are some wicked people out there who send viruses, worms, tojans dead dogs etc as attachments, but if I get e-mail from a friend, it's annoying not to be able to view his/her attachments.
    Any ideas?
    thanks in advance

    Do you mean Outlook Express 6 (OE6)?

    If so, select Tools/Options... then the Security tab and check "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus".

    Note this will allow you to view all the attachments and you should have an Anit-virus e-mail scanner.

    If you mean the Outlook product from MS Office then follow Kodo's link.
