well, if oe says its unsafe how do you know it isn't?? maybe it has saved
you from infection with the swen or some other virus???

but if you are really intent on opening it go to tools/options the security
tab and uncheck the box about not letting you open attachments that could
contain viruses.... but i recommend that you make sure your anti-virus
software is up to date before you do it.... you are running anti-virus
software that scans your mail aren't you??
