The error:

Outlook Express removed access to the following unsafe attachments in your
email...

The fix:

Go to OE tools, options, security. Turn off the option "do not allow
attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus".

Unsafe attachment types can be edited

Use with caution - instructions and information can be found here:
