Fixing Outlook Express 6 Attachment Removal

Posted in Windows XP by Community Submission

Many people have complained that newer version of OE 6 tend to remove attachments, such as pictures, hence they cannot be viewed. However, all is not lost. The feature blocking your pictures most of the time is an option built-in to OE to block potentially virus infected files. The problem is that it applies this security to almost anything, including your beloved photos. To turn this feature off, simply open Outlook Express, click Tools, the Options. Select the Security tab and de-check the box next to "Do not allow attachments to be saved..." Hit ok and you're all set to go!
