larry1 - if you haven't gotten an answer by time I get home, I'll check mine and see if I can get you an answer. That will be about 5 hours or so from now though.

larry1 - I will still check for you but there will be a bit of a delay. My relief phoned in sick so I will be working a double and won't be getting off until around noon your time and can't promise I'll be coherent enough to check anything after 16 hours in this place.

Larry1,

It may be your Virus checker that has removed them

as far as I know Outlook has no setting for removing attachments but someone will prove me wrong.

I finally got home. Whew - 16+ hours at work is to bludy long for an old fart like me.

 

I agree with Dragonbat - OE does not have any feature to strip attachments. AV program, firewall, or something similar can do it if set right. They can remove a known virus easily. They can also remove any that have a "viral pattern" if you are set that way.

Could it be that they are simply to big to fit in the space allocated on your PC?
