Help!!!

I've been receiving (authorised) .exe files, but Outlook is blocking them.

How do I get to them - presumably they're still downloaded (took long enough!)

Cheers,

Dan

 

try this

go into OE:
tools/options/security.

there should be a check box " do not allow attachments..blah blah..."

untick this box, and the attachment should be there

 

thanks Nick, but no box exists...

seems to be a new thing in Outlook.....

Any ideas?

found this from the help menu on XP outlook 2002

By default, Microsoft Outlook blocks attachment files ( such as .bat, .exe, .vbs, and .js) that can contain viruses. You cannot see or access the attachments. Your Inbox will display the paperclip icon in the Attachment column to let you know that the message has an attachment, and you will see a list of the blocked attachment files in the InfoBar at the top of your message. If you try to open the attachment by right-clicking the item, View Attachments will not appear on the shortcut menu. If you need to use files, such as .exe files, from others, have them post the files to a network share or to a Web share that you can access.

Not much help I'm affraid
Try getting them to winzip the exe

or just get the sender to rename them to .xxx etc that's what we always do
