Dear Folks, Over the past several days personal friends of mine have sent me messages with attachements added to them. But the only reason that I knew that there had been an attachment was the notification in the email message ABOVE the "From: "Jane Doe" email address was that it said, "OE [outlook express?] removed access to the following unsafe attachments in your mail." and then it gives the subject of the attachment. Although I've tried to click on the notification to see where it came from or what the problem was, nothing, and I'm still in the dark. Does anyone have a clue? vee

Dear Folks, I received the following response to the queston: When you install OE 6.0 it has a default setting to make attachments inaccessible. To change that setting go to: TOOLS > OPTIONS > SECURITY and uncheck the box about removing attachments. Then all the attachments will be accessible. And guess what! IT WORKED!! vee ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vee L.

Vee, Thanks to you I now can access my attachments. I had the same problem with Outlook Express 6. Didn't know how to fix it until your e-mail came along. Also gives me a chance to thank you for putting Dewitt Clinton's journal on line. I wish I had had it when I gave a program for our genealogical society last spring on Migration Patterns from New England and New York to Michigan. Part of my report focused on the Erie Canal. D Clinton's Journal would have fleshed it out a bit. How interesting it is to read it and to realize that my ancestors settled in Genesee County in 1805. And also to know that other relatives travelled the Erie Canal in 1825. Oh this genealogy - how I love it!! Thanks again for the computer "cure" and the fascinating journal.
