[dba-Tech] Norton Strip mdbs

Oh, sorry I meant TB not Firefox.

I'm just the opposite - I have TB 1.0.7 and FF 1.5

I have NAV 2005 on one of my machines as part of NIS and I don't see a
specific place in NAV where it blocks specific attachments - just let you
set whether it scans them or not.

I would suggest testing to see if it is NAV by turning that feature off and
sending an mdb attachment back and forth to someone.

Instructions to turn off email scanning 
Exit any email programs that are running. 
Start Norton System Works. 
Click Options. 
If you see a menu, click Norton Antivirus. 
In the left pane, click Email. 
In the right pane, uncheck Scan incoming Email and Scan outgoing Email (or
both). (Reverse this step to turn it back on)
Click OK. 
Then in the Protection Alert dialog box, on the drop-down menu, click
Permanently, and then click OK. 
Exit Norton Antivirus.

If you still can't get the attachment through I would suggest following
these instructions:
(since you used to use OE)
