Outlook blocked 'pst' file attachment. WHY?

It does not appear in blocked access list.

Also, problem with 'eml' attachments.

You didn't say which version of Outlook or whether you are using Exchange.
If you are using email in a business environment you should talk to your
admin about this as you may not have the rights to your machine to fix it and
your admin may not *want* you to fix it. As far as I know Outlook does not
block .eml files by default which makes me think an admin may have blocked
it. In Outlook 2003 I believe .pst files will be blocked by default:
