Question Outlook blocking attachment

Hello folks,

I am trying to save an attachment that has been blocked by Outlook (2000). Outlook shows the attachment as a paperclip, but once you view the email, there's an exclamation mark saying that "Outlook blocked the potential hazardous attachment [file name]". Question is how do you unblock this?

I could resent it to a different email however; the attachment is large in size and I can only use dial-up on this computer

This is probably the answer.

Chances are the security feature in OE is blocking them

Go into tools
Options
Security
Turn off the option: Do not allow attachments to be saved that could be a virus

And BOB should hopefully be your uncle?
