I would like to know how to do an attachment to my e-mail. I can neither receive nor send e-mail with my Windows XP Outlook express.The reply is always as follows: OE removed access to the following unsafe attachment in your mail.
Thank you.

Check your OE security settings.

In OE, click on Tools, Options.
Click on the security tab.

Set your security zone to Internet Zone.

Un-check the box for Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that may potentially be a virus.

Once you loosen your OE security, the settings for your Anti-Virus software become more critical.
Make sure that it is set to scan e-mails, and files when downloaded, or opened.

here's how to fix this problem:

Start Outlook Express.
1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click the Security tab, click to clear the Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus check box under Virus Protection, and then click OK.
