I wrote yesterday to get an answer about Outlook taking it
upon itself to simply delete an attachement that it deemed
unsafe. Is it possible to disable this feature? It is
possible in Outlook Express and I can not see for the life
of me, why Microsoft would feel that they know better than
the actual users as to which attachments are safe and
which are unsafe and then unilaterally making a decision
to delete the attachments without any user intervention
what so ever. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee say that Microsoft
is not so arrogant to know better than I which attachments
are safe and which are not, and also, there is a way to
turn off this "useful" feature.
