Johnson Sent: 28 September 2003 18:06 To: MSO Freelist Group Subject: [mso] Outlook 2003 and exe attachments Earlier today, Vic tried to send me the newest version of his Lock&Hide program and I didn't receive it....so, he and I were trying to figure out if one of our ISPs was blocking this stuff....but now I see it's Outlook 2003 it's not Comcast or Onlink...it's Outlook 2003....I just sent myself an exe attachment and opened it in OE..it came thru just fine...but I don't even get the email in Outlook....I don't even get a damn notice telling me it's been stripped...I don't get the email AT ALL I did the Level1Remove reg fix and exe is in there...and My Help>About show "Security:User controlled"....I even went to Slipstick and got the addin that's supposed to work with the 2003 beta and it does not. If Microsoft thinks this is *helpful*, I have to disagree...*helpful* would be for them to quarantine the attachment or something so I could scan it and make my OWN decision..or at least let me have the email and show me that the file has been removed or SOMETHING...but to just completely remove the email and never even tell me I got it is NOT acceptable to me. Has anyone using Outlook 2003 found a workaround for this? If not, I am going to remove the beta now and go back to Outlook 2002...I have many companies that send me programs to review...often times they are in exe format....now, that may not be a good move on their part, but if I don't even get the damn email, I have no idea this failed cuz I never even know they tried. grrrrrrr Linda F.
