outlook express

I have outlook express 6.0 running on windows 98. many of
my e-mail messages that have attachments I receive a
message when I try to open them that outlook express has
removed the attachments preventing them from being opened
because they are unsafe.......however I know that they are
safe. how can I change this to quit doing this? any help
would be appreciated thank you..........

The following articles describe this feature, which is for safety.

WARNING: The first two articles present a workaround that involves disabling
the *entire* attachment protection mechanism; I recommend you do *not* use
that method. The third article describes a much more granular (and safer) way
to deal with the problem...

REMEMBER, though, all the file types listed in the "dangerous" list carry the
potential to mess you up if you're not careful. Think twice before bypassing
any of them!
