Internet Explorer 6 service pack
I was notified to update my computer and I did the
updates. And now I have Outlook Express 6 and I am getting email from friends with attachments and it will not let me open many of them-even the ones that I saved before I updated to Microsoft 6. The message that OE has removed access to unsafe attachments. Any suggestions? What I would like to do it to uninstall Outlook Express 6 only and still leave Microsoft Internet Exployer 6 but will that work and can I do that. Or very simply, how can I open these emails with these "OE removal of unsafe attachments" |

You can then turn it off,before you go on-line,and let all your emails = download then delete any that look 'suspicious' - without them being = opened when you click on their headers to highlight them before deleting = them - then turn it back on to view the rest of them. =20 If you're still not sure about any of the 'safe' ones then - with the = Preview Pane still turned off - you can right-click the header and then = click PROPERTIES/DETAILS/MESSAGE SOURCE and see what the email contains = then decide to either delete it or open it.
