Level 1 e-mail security attachments

[Tom Gaughan]

Ever since I've upgraded home desktop to Outlook 2000, I've had attachments
blocked because of a built in "security" feature that automatically blocks
numerous file types (see clip below from Help). MS says these setting CAN
NOT be changed. What kind of crap is this. There's got to be a back door
around this.
Thanks in advance,
Tom G.

From Help:

Level 1 and level 2 e-mail security attachment file types
There are two levels of attachment security. Access to level 1 files is
blocked and can't be changed. When you receive an attachment with a level 2
file type, you will be prompted to save the file to your hard disk. If you
use Microsoft Exchange Server, your administrator can add and remove file
types for both levels of e-mail security. If a file type is added to both
levels, it will be treated as a level 1 file type.
