Outlook Issue

BigRon · 15 Jul 2007 at 20:58

Hi,
I need to send a lot of files which are in sub folders,With in One folder.
When i right click and select send mail to mail Recipient,its does it but there is never any attachments.
In the subject line it just says Emailing:folder name.
Above to TO line it says "The message has not been sent,
Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachments:Folder name"

I have tried looking at secruity settings,but cant find nothing.

Help needed.

Thanks

this could be a problem with your anti virus software try disabling it, send your file then re-inable

Tried that, no dif. Im sure its a ms/outlook secruity thing
The files are .Sor format

When i try it on mine, it tries to send as a .lnk file. This is
a. Considered a "dangerous" file
b. Not going to allow the recipient to view the files within the folder. It's just a local shortcut to that folder.

Solution: Zip the folder first then send it as a .zip attachment.
