Outlook Express problem

Question

I occasionally receive e-mail with Visio attachments that I KNOW are not harmful yet a message at the top of the e-mail says "OE removed access to the following unsafe attachments in your mail: HSHA.vsd"  What changes can I make to my outlook express to resolve this problem?  My co-worker in the next office can open them, but on my computer, they are grayed out.

But, I'll take the high road, and help you anyway.

OE removed access to the following unsafe attachments in your mail
If receive this error with attachments in Outlook Express, here's how you fix it:
Outlook Express 6 has quite a few security enhancements that are good, but with some of the latest security patches OE has become so hyperactive with blocking everything that even having an attachment has become useless.
To view the attachments that Outlook Express has deemed "unsafe" do this:
Open Outlook Express
Click Tools->Options
Click the Security tab
Uncheck the Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus box
Click OK.
If you're opening an executable, be absolutely sure that it's safe. I never open an exe unless I know exactly what it is, and was expecting it.

Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.
