OE is smart enough to prevent windows users to read openoffice
documents... believe it or not. It refuses opening these documents
saying thay are "unknown, probably viruses" :-(((. - they can even not
save them on the disk.

1) it is very nice to OE to stop the users opening anything
2) but known origin odt documents should not be stopped

So I have to instruct my readers to go in the OE options, unset the
save protection, save, then reset the option.

If it is Outlook Express:

menu Extra - options - tab security:
check/uncheck "deny saving or opening attachements possibly containing a
virus" or something in that order (I translate from a dutch version here).


they understand this very easily...

At least they can open them. Should one have to use Outlook Web Access for
Exchange, one would not be able to open "unsafe" attachments at all from
non-IE browser. There is no accessible option for "unsupported" browser
to turn this "feature" off. Either you need a Windows desktop somewhere
to access with IE or Outlook or similar, or you won't be opening
attachments in the webmail. MS Office attachments are never "unsafe",
though, so they are accessible even on non-IE browsers, no matter whom
they came from.

It says it is blocking these possibly unsafe attachments blaah blaah...
sure. I would still like to be able to somehow open them if I wanted to.
