I have Windows XP Media Center 2005 and Outlook Express 6. A friend, using
Windows 2000 Pro and Outlook 2000, has tried to forward a message to me
twice. I haven't been able to see the attachment either time - even though
the message that I receive shows up as 5341KB in size. He showed me the
message he was forwarding (it is a short video clip) and I noticed that
the attachment was listed in the body of the email so I'm assuming that
has something to do with it. He's sent other video that I've had no
problem with, just this one. Do I have something set at my end that is
preventing me from seeing the attachment? I looked in Options and tried
different security settings but still nothing. Thanks in advance - any
help will be appreciated.



Is the file extension .dat?



No, I think it was .wmv
I will check tomorrow because I told him that if it didn't come through this
time I would have him save the attachment to his hard drive and then send me
a NEW message (instead of forwarding) with the attachment.
