I need help with OE.

I recently newly installed it on another computer, and imported all of my old mail.

The problem is, I can't view attachments.  I'll get mail that says it has attachments on it, and when I try to open, it won't let me (attachment options are fogged out).  If I double-click on the message, I get some text in the new window (under the icons) that says:  "OE removed access to the following unsafe attachments in your mail: "Attachment title"

Now, I know for a fact that these attachments are NOT unsafe.  It won't even let me view the stuff that I imported!

WTH?  How do I fix this?

(In OE6)Under tools,options,security, is "DO not allow attachments to be saved or opened etc..." checked?

Thanks!  That got it.  I looked right past that box somehow.

There's your answer right there. The default is checked, so you'll have to uncheck it.
