7/27 - Changes to Outlook attachments for OSU email users

Published: 2012-07-27

Any user of the University Email Service who would like to view an attachment while using Outlook Web Access will now need to download the attachment first before being able to view it. (This does not apply to the Fisher College of Business email system.  This change is only for the central University email system.)

The option to view an attachment will no longer be available. If an attachment needs to be viewed, it will need to be downloaded first.

This is due to a security vulnerability that was found by Microsoft. This change will be put into place immediately and it is unknown as to how long the web-ready document viewing will be disabled.
