Microsoft Office
Ok so I went to open an email attachment today off of Microsoft Office 2003 and guess what it wouldn't open it just highlighted. Aparently (after doing some reading) when you download the new update it blocks all email attachments with ***** and some others. On the website it says this may cause problems for users but security comes first. There is no way that I could find to get around this other than going into the program and changing some stuff which I do not feel comfortable doing. I was going to call tech support and they want $49.99 per issue. This is redicoulous! Is there anyone else having this problem?

What are you using for email, Outlook, Outlook express, windows mail?
What operating system, XP or Vista??
Try going into the email program and checking the options on the security tab..
Make sure the allow attachements checkbox is unchecked.. Outlook express has it not sure of windows mail..
What update was it that changed the setting??
