Attachments in OE greyed out
« on: March 03, 2005, 10:45:34 AM »
When doing some housekeeping in my Outlook Express Inbox I wanted to check on some of the attachments.  All of these were greyed out and wouldn't allow me to open or save.  I had opened these in the past and were not suspicious.  Some contain pictures which I really want to keep.

I have 4.6.603 with 0509-3.  Windows XP Home.  ZoneAlarm 5.5.062.011.

Help please!!!!

Check Tools > Options in OE, recent security updates may have blocked them, see image.

Yes minutes before I just found that worked and I just logged on to say problem solved.

Strange thing is when I tried unchecking that box it didn't appear to do the trick first time hence my plea for help.  I thought I'd give it one more go and Hey Presto it worked - strange!!

Anyway thanks very much for the reply.

No Problem, you will have to get used to quick responses on these forums, strange for a support forum I know.

Anyway welcome to the forums and avast!
