Purchased new computer. Using Outlook Express 6.1 for
email. Cannot receive attachments. Help.
Response comes up. OE removed access to the following
unsafe attachments in your mail 3_Doc1.doc

Is there a way I can override the OE and receive the
attachments when I know the sender?

See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q291387 -

Option 1: Click forward on the message w/the attachment and open it from
there (you don't have to click Send on the new message)

Option 2: look in tools, options, security, and untick the box.
If you go with option 2, make sure you have good antivirus software running
that also scans mail - and keep it updated regularly.

Also note: you will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post
OE questions to an Outlook Express news group. Try
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress

If this group isn't carried on your news server, try using
msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server - it's the source for all the
microsoft.public newsgroups).

A good website for information on OE is:
