    Outlook and Attachments

    I use outlook for my email and Outlook express newsreader at times to read newsgroups. I'm wondering how you can shut down Outlooks Nanny feature where it automaticly removes access to a file with an .exe, .rar or the like when you get one sent as an attachment. I just ran into a problem with Mpeg file off a newsgroup and couldnt open it because OE newsreader blocked it. I use agent, but perfer using OE when reading Binary newsgroups with pictures
    Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?

    If you are using OE, goto Tools->Options->Security Tab, second check box from the top is an option called "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that potentially could be a virus". uncheck that and away you go
