Received an email message with a blocked attachment
If you receive a message with a paper clip icon but no attachment, the file may have been blocked by the server to protect the safety of your computer. There are a few things you can do to receive the attachment:
-
Ask the sender to scan the file for viruses and send you a clean copy. If a file contains a virus MSN can't clean, MSN blocks the file.
-
Check with the sender to find out if the file was in a format that's easily infected by viruses. MSN blocks these types file formats automatically.
Note: In both of the above cases, an alert will display when you open a message with a blocked attachment.
