Hi FGM's.
MS appear to have done an excellent job with OE6.
I've received dozens of mails with dodge attachments, and in every case been
warned about the unsafe nature of them by OE.
In fact, any attachment that is executable is considered to be a
threat and OE6 will not allow you to open or save the attachment.
Obviously you can open or save any attachment, but in order to do this with
something that OE6 deems unsafe you have to adjust it's security settings.
