O.E. REMOVAL OF UNSAFE DOCUMENTS
« on: Tuesday 07 November 06 22:01 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone tell me why now and again Outlook Exprees removes attachments and tells me that they are unsafe.
They do not have virus's as I know that some were scanned at source
Have I got my computer setup wrong or something?
Thanks Jean

Hi Jean

It sounds as though you have got your security set too high - Outlook will strip out attachments such as pictures, executable files, Word files - in fact anything that can be used to get into your system by the back door.
