Unhappy Computer gurus needed

My wife emailed me some pictures and jokes. My computer won't let me open the attachments.

It says "OE removed access to the following unsafe files etc. etc...."

These files all work fine on her 'puter. It does this every time she tries to email me. I'm using Outlook Express. Is there a setting I can change to get to these attachments?

Thanks,

Fred

I think this is controlled in Outlook Express by the tools - options - security tab but my computer at work doesn't use OE so I can't find the exact setting to change. You might look in there...

Open Outlook Express
Click Tools
Click options
Click Security
Uncheck - Do not allow attatchments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus.

That will do the trick. Just make sure you have virus software that checks all incoming email before you open it...Jay
