Cut and pasted from Mae's posting three postings up....

This is a new feature that temporarily blocks file types that could
potentially contain a virus .
See the "read me" under help in Outlook Express.

To enable go to:
Tools | Options | Security|
and uncheck "Do not allow attachment..",
Be aware of the security implications if you do this.
