From MY copy of the message I sent containing the binary attachment I get
no
response by clicking the program's icon or the 'paper clip'.

I get a message which says "Outlook Express has made the attachment
inaccessible". So its in my computer somewhere but I can't get at it.
Not
that I want it.

At some time in the distant past I may have set OE to reject suspicious
non-standard attachments.

But out of curiosity, has anyone managed to download program SELFRES2 ?

Or has it been rejected simply because its a binary file sent via a
newsgroup?

Thank you for your cooperation.


Update...

In XP, I clicked Tools/Options then selected the Security tab. Unchecked the
"Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened...". I can get the file now.
I runs just fine.
