To one and all,
I am finding a problem I did not expect and is one I dont know the way to change.
I have been setting up a friend's computer, and installing WinXP on it. Since she got to dislike Netscape 7.1 on Win98, I sugguested she use OE with the new XP install. Things went well with the setup of her OE mail account, and importing her old emails.
UNFORTUNATELY, I am now discovering a problem I was NOT expecting - after I went to look at some of her emails, both new mail as well as those inported into OE from Netscape, several emails that have attachments, when you click on the paper clip, OE tells you it blocked access to the potentially dangerous attachment. One of the newest emails is from an elder in her church with a DOC file with important info for her to look at. BUT it has been blocked by OE. This one and a number of other emails with attachments are the same issue. NONE of these emails has problem attachments and each is info she needs to have access to.
I went into settings and can not find anywhere to change OE to let attachments be openable - how do I do so????
HELP!!!!
Ralph
