UncleTgt Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 I think the culprit is a Microsoft "enhancement" to Outlook Express v6. It strips away "unsafe" e-mail attachments as default setting. Launch Outlook & go to "Tools". Click the security tab & there will be a check box that says something like " remove unsafe attachments from incoming messages". Uncheck this box & click on the "Apply" button. Any attachments with incoming e-mails should now appear, as advertised, no matter what the file type. Hope this helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
