1. It's an attachment you have been waiting for?
If OE thinks it's unsafe, it could be. Are you sure the sender has good virus protection?

If you are sure your friend doesn't have a virus, and that you don't have a virus, then detach the attachment and put it on your harddrive, and open it manually.

2. Click on tools
options....click the security tab. Look under virus protection and uncheck the box that says something about to not allow attachments to be saved or opened that may be a virus.
