| Hello,
|
| In reference to the option to have OE disallow opening or saving of attachments, How does
| one know 1) what file types OE considers to be viruses and 2) is there a way to specify
| allowed file types?

Based upon file type and their associated extensions. EXE, BAT, PIF, SCR are just some
examples as these files can be executed and can be used in a malicious way.
Make sure you have a up-to-date anti virus application running "On Access" scanning and then
in OE...
Tools --> options --> security
Uncheck; Do not allow attachments to be saved...
It is basically an on/off switch. Either you enable the filtering or don't. It isn't user
editable to specify specific filtering settings.
