My daughter uses McAfee and her outlook Express 6.x presently does not allow
her with McAfee to open Attachments.

I myself use Norton, but I looked to-day at her computer, but could see
nothing that prevents her not opening Attachments.

Did I miss something.

She wants to be able to open attachments that friends send her.

She uses WindowsXP and the latest OE.

OE: Tools > Options > Security tab. Uncheck "Do not open attachments..."

Some Windoze updates apparently change this setting to "checked" even if
you had it unchecked beforehand.
