Find Attachment Previewers

Overview

Attachment Preview, a new feature in the 2007 Microsoft Office system, allows the user to preview some attachment file types without opening them. The attachment previewers that come with the 2007 Office release are on by default. By default, Microsoft Outlook blocks potentially unsafe attachment files (including .bat, .exe, .vbs, and .js files) that can contain viruses. The user cannot view or access a blocked attachment file, but a list of blocked attachment files appears in the InfoBar at the top of the message. The user should preview or open attachments from trustworthy sources only.
