Jean, Thanks, but the only check or uncheck, in security about attachments says, "encrypt contents and attachments for out going mail." So if you have any other ideas or if any one else has some ideas, I would really appreciate. it. This is stopping me from recieving some important attachments in my office. Thanks, DR.

Go to the tools menu item on the tool bar, then down arrow to options and hit enter. then control tab to security. the third or fourth checkbox is for blocking attachments, make sure it is not checked. then tab to ok and hit enter.
