[OT] Outlook Security update - can't d/l attachments

["Kevin Hawkins" <lists@xxxxxxx>]

    I have (just changed to) Outlook 2000 and installed most of the latest updates - one of which is the security update. It appears that this 'patch' causes Outlook to block access to any attachment that has for example an extension .EXE. Called a type 1 file.

 

    >From reading the help file I can't see any way around this - surely I must be able to download a .EXE attachment somehow ???!  Worse still the message is now deleted off my pop mail server at the ISP so I can't download it with another client.

 

    Can I work around this ?
