This is not OT because it's about sending openoffice documents to outlook express users.
OE is smart enough to prevent windows users to read openoffice documents... believe it or not. It refuses opening these documents saying thay are "unknown, probably viruses" :-(((. - they can even not save them on the disk.
1) it is very nice to OE to stop the users opening anything 2) but known origin odt documents should not be stopped
So I have to instruct my readers to go in the OE options, unset the save protection, save, then reset the option.
they understand this very easily...
At least they can open them. Should one have to use Outlook Web Access for Exchange, one would not be able to open "unsafe" attachments at all from non-IE browser. There is no accessible option for "unsupported" browser to turn this "feature" off. Either you need a Windows desktop somewhere to access with IE or Outlook or similar, or you won't be opening attachments in the webmail. MS Office attachments are never "unsafe", though, so they are accessible even on non-IE browsers, no matter whom they came from. It says it is blocking these possibly unsafe attachments blaah blaah... sure. I would still like to be able to somehow open them if I wanted to.
