Word extensions changed in email
Hi Rick,
A 'defanged' attachment can be one that has been scanned or altered as detected to be possibly malicious. It could contain spam, a virus, a worm or other and can be something done by the mail service server or by an anti-malware product you have installed on your computer. ============== "Rick" wrote in message ... The last few days every Word doc that comes to me in an email (and I've tested sending to myself as well) comes to me with a different extension (using the word DEFANGED) and I get the "Windows can't open this file" box. So I choose Word from the list of programs and it opens the attachment. I use MS Outlook. I can open the documents but the process isn't as simple as a double click. How can this be changed back? -- Bob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends* |

tested sending to myself as well) comes to me with a different extension (using the word DEFANGED) and I get the "Windows can't open this file" box. So I choose Word from the list of programs and it opens the attachment. I use MS Outlook. I can open the documents but the process isn't as simple as a double click. How can this be changed back? |
