With the latest versions of msn microsoft has implemented some security feature that will block files it deems dangerous.
Music, videos and executable files are of course, considered dangerous.

You can use a patch (such as A-patch, messpatch or univers patcher++) to solve this.

it's stupid though.
Without even asking you to confirm, it deletes your MP3 files that someone just sent you.
So annoying.

I think the Mess Patch has a solution for this, plus it can remove the ads and stuff too. I haven't got around to running it on the latest msn...maybe I will now.
