Disabling certain e-mail attachments scanning?

[redman]

I have a program called Timely Web (www.timelyweb.com) which I use to notify me of Web page changes. I have it configured to send me e-mails and these arrive with attachments with an mht extension. However, Avast keeps flagging these as suspicious. Can I set it to always ignore these attachments?

You could try adding timelyweb.com to the Permited URLs of Internet Mail - Heuristics Tab and see if that permits emails from timelyweb.com.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a go and see what happens.

The suggestion doesn't work I'm sorry to say. This came in this evening:-

Very suspicious extension of attachment
 * http___www.aiscl.co.uk_DownloadAISBackup.htm - {42D36796-18CB-4AC5-B25E-E92AFF5724B1}.diff.html.20050106203357.mht


Sender:  Timely Web <timelyweb@valencia.plus.com>
Recipient:  email@valencia.plus.com
Subject:  Web Page or Software Updated

It is a legitimate e-mail that I want to receive. If there were a way to disable scanning of .mht files (it worked in BitDefender 8 [my previous virus scanner) it ought to solve the problem.

You need to enter this as permitted URL:
timelyweb@valencia.plus.com

or use just:
@valencia.plus.com

if you want to exclude all senders from this mail domain (not recommended).

Thanks.

Done, but look what happened this evening:-

I forgot, here is a screenshot of my permitted URL's:-

Oh,that won't work. The exclussion is only for iFrame and not to exclude senders emails... maybe you wanna add this one to wish list

[DavidR]

Can you not receive the notification in another format, rather than .mht ?

I don't think so. The only settings I can change with relation to the e-mail notifications are shown in the screenshot below. How do I add this to the official wish list?

[DavidR]

What is under the templates button or on the timelyweb support/FAQ? Since .mht can only be viewed by IE or IE based browsers, so there must be some other format to support non-ie browsers.

See screenshot.

I was kind of hoping that the file type of the attachment would be able to be changed to .htm/l or .txt, unfortunately it doesn't look like it.

If you uncheck this optin, won't it work?
