Hi everyone,
Feeling frustrated about this important email with a known attachment from someone in my Outlook inbox. Outlook just would not let me download the attachment! It says:
"Access to the following potentially unsafe attachments has been blocked: filename"
I have done google searches and tried everything from going into regedit to downloading additional software that's meant to unblock the file type I need, but alas, no success.
Personally, I find this very silly of Microsoft to block file types for security reasons and not allow the user to enable them...because the user may know the sender!
Can anyone please help me? The file type attached is XML, but the sender also sent me a TXT version - both are blocked by Outlook. I believe im using Outlook 2003.
Many thanks for reading.
