What is happening is that Outlook Express 6 is restricting your access to
attachments. To access attachments in Outlook Express 6:Tools | Options |
Security and UNcheck the box "Do Not allow attachments to be saved or
opened that could potentially be a virus".
If you do decide to uncheck this option PLEASE don't forget to scan for
viruses and other nasties ALL of your attachments irrespective of whether
sent from a friend or not before making any attempt to open or run them.
It is users failure to carry out such simple precautions that allows
viruses
such as Swen & MyDoom to spread so quickly.
