If I try to launch any . exe (I know to be safe) directly from OE, I get an
error message with an icon that looks like the security center of SP2 (which
is disabled on my machine) saying, when I translate that from French :

"Windows has detected that this file was potentially dangerous. In order to
help you protect your computer, Windows has blocked the access to this
file".

If I try to save it on the disk, I choose the folder I want, and then I get
this message (translated) :

"An error occured during the saving of one or more attached files. Check the
available space on disk and try again"

> What is the attached EXE file?

It was a small animation for Christmas, but I also tried with any small .exe
file I sent to myself : same result.

Just made the test at once : no problem, I can get the .exe file this way.
