    Email attachment window says OE is not letting attachments through due to potential threat.
    Is SpyGuard possibly too much on guardo_O How do i fix?

    Sounds like a setting in Outlook Express may be the cause.

    In Outlook Express, click on Tools in the upper left hand corner, then go down and click options, then click the security tab. In the Virus prtection section, uncheck the line that says "Do not allow attatchments to be opened or saved that could potentially be a virus". Click apply and then OK.

    See if that helps.
