Member Since: February 2004 Posts: 0 Send Message	Sometimes (but not always) when receiving emails with attachments OE will not let me open them. Why is this and how can I get round this?

	Go to Tools - Options - Protection and untick the box that says something like 'do not allow attachments that could contain viruses'. I don't know the exact wording, because I have the Italian version.
