Subject: RE: Help: Outlook express
Help, please.
Recently, Outlook Express has removed access to some photo enclosures from relatives in the last two weeks.

The method of preparing the picture seems to be part of the problem; the same picture sent jpeg arrived, but another (gif?- forgot to ask, but it had been put through Adobe) was blocked.
The message was "OE removed access to the following unsafe attachments in your mail: Porteous Road View." It was a view of fields and mountains from the front porch.

The same happened to one sent by a son-in-law of his boy in Little League baseball uniform, but he is away and I can't determine his method of transmission. He sent it twice; the first was refused as too large by a back-country dial-up for one recipient was the one stopped by OE to me. The second, smaller, came through to me without warning. I have cable broadband, etc., supposedly all the bells and whistles.

I have not authorized nor can I find any blocking instructions with the OE that I have. I looked at the Programs instructions; to me they were gobbledegook. It is Outlook 6. Is there something in their system that does this? Why are some methods of photo transmission censored and not others?
Any suggestions?
