Outlook Express should let you over ride blocked attachments.

[acumenarchitects]

I am an architect and send and receive .dwg files everyday and can not expect
people to resend drawings all the time in zip folders or changing file types.
Why are dwg files blocked automatically? The only people to send them are
professionals who have virus software or should have. You should at very
least be able to over ride blocked attachments at your own risk. What right
has Microsoft to dictate what you can and can't open on your own e-mail?

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!

BTW, please do NOT use the "suggestion" box for what is actually an issue
for you.
