i assume this is a security issue, and i need to know how to fix it.

whenever i get an attachment in OE it is grayed in (basically disabled) and you cannot open it. anyone know how to turn this off?

Click Tools.....Then Options....Then Security....Then uncheck the box thaty says "Do Not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus"

something along these lines that pissed me off was on my gf's laptop which i installed office xp on the damn outlook blocks certain attachments and you can do jack shit about it no setting like in OE where you can turn it on and off
