Cannot view attachments in Outlook Express 6

[Sue]

When I click on any attachment to open I get message:
"OE removed access to the following unsafe attachments in
your mail".

Please advise how I can open attachments.

Thanks

G'Day Sue,
Below is a Copy of a response to "Pam" on 17 Feb 2004:
============================================
G'Day Pam,

1. Outlook restricts access to attachments that Microsoft consider
to be dangerous - eg '.exe' files.

2. In general, the best way to send/receive attachments is to compress
them into (say) a Zip or Rar File.

3. If you wish to take control yourself, the safest way is to use the
COM addin from Slovak Technical Services - see
http://www.slovaktech.com/attachmentoptions.htm .
This adds, to Tools>Options, and additional Tab entitled
'Attachment Security Options' where you may decide for
yourself what options to permit.
=======================================
I hope it helps!!

The OP was asking about Outlook Express (go back and read the original
post), not Outlook. Your "advice" is bogus.

Ask in an Outlook Express newsgroup (hint: Tools>Options>Security).
