Entourage claiming to have blocked an unsafe file attachment.

I got an email that has anther email attached to it. Entourage appended the
attached email to the bottom of the email. SO there was really nothing
BLOCKED. I checked with the sender I know what was sent. Just one email
attached to another.
This is on exchange and the sender sent email from Outlook.
Am I missing something? Why would Entourage not know that this email is not
unsafe. To be clear there was no files attached to this email. Just another
Outlook email that itself had no attachment either.

Where did you see the "Blocked" message? Was it at the top of the mail
message in a yellow bar?

Did the attached mail message have any attachments itself?

The message blocked info was a Window that prompted me for unsafe attachment
and ALSO the yellow bar showed up on top of the email message.

No there is not attachment on either emails. Simply there is one email
attached to another.

The email is the attachment.

YES, I think it is obvious that the email IS the attachment.
Now back to the original question.
Why does Entourage think that is attachment is unsafe. There is nothing
suspect in that ATTACHED email.

Let me make it even more clear. I also have Windows and Outlook and in
Outlook this email looks just fine. Nothing about a unsafe attachment.

Evidently there is something in that email that Entourage finds suspicious.

Have a look at the last line on this page about Entourage's phishing
protection on Microsoft's website:
