OE has removed access to the following unsafe attachments in your mail

  • I have received two emails but I have been unable to open the attachments. Instead the following message appears: ‘OE has removed access to the following unsafe attachments in your mail: (subject)’. What is going on?

    Open Outlook Express and go to the ‘Tools’ menu > ‘Options’. In the window that appears, click the ‘Security’ tab and untick ‘Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus’. Click OK.

Hi there. If this is the first time you are posting a comment it will not appear immediately, but needs to be approved. This is necessary in order to combat comment spam. However, once you have submitted a comment (which is subsequently approved) you do not need to go through this process again - the site remembers who you are and auto-approves your comments. Nifty eh? Anyway, sorry about the inconvenience that this may cause for your first comment post.
