When certain e-mail senders send e-mail with an attachment I get the e-mail message, but the attachment is blocked. In the attachment block of the message the following message appears:
OE removed access to the following unsafe attachment in your mail: C-OHIO.xls, F-OHIO.xls.
The attachments are from the Wells Fargo Bank. They are mortgage rate sheets. Can anyone help me with this?

Ask whoever sent them to you to resend them with a TXT file extension and when you get them, save them to your hard drive and change the file extensions back to XLS before you try to open them.

Just allow OE to not block access to the files:

Remove any spaces that may appear in the posted URL.

Start Outlook Express.
On the Tools menu, click Options.
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.
