There are 2 levels of attachments, by default:
Level

mda;mdb;mde;mdz;msc;msi;msp;mst;pcd;pif;prf;reg;scf;scr;sct;shb;shs;url;
vb;vbe;vbs;wsc;wsf;wsh
Level
2 contains:
none
Actions:
Level 1 - Attachments are blocked from user access.
Level 2 - Attachments can be saved but not viewed.
Workround:
The following key moves attachments from level 1 to level 2
so that users can save the attachment.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Security
Key: Level1Remove

mde;mdz;msc;msi;msp;mst;pcd;pif;prf;reg;scf;scr;sct;shb;shs;url;vb;vbe;vbs;wsc;wsf;wsh
