Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Advanced make sure that Break Apart
is NOT checked.

Also check your anti-virus software and make sure that it is NOT set to
scan outgoing mail.

As for the MIM problem, that was an issue with recipients using very old
versions of AOL. I wouldn't expect that people are still using that,
but who knows. The issue is that old versions of AOL have problems when
a message has more than one attachment or a single attachment in an HTML
format message. The solution is to only use plain text format for
sending and not include more than one attachment to those people.

If you still have problems, you may e-mail me a message with a small
attachment and I'll take a look at it to see if there is anything that
could cause problems.

I recently redid my hard drive with XP, SP2 etc. Since then some email
recipients can open attachments from me - small word files - and some
can't.
I've checked the OE settings, and have set them the same as on my
other pc,
which works fine. The same problem occurs if I send using Outlook,
but not
if I send using Pegasus. Also, I can send OK from my btinternet
webmail on
that pc. Some of my recipients are pretty savvy and they've told me
the
files are a bit smaller than they should be when they arrive.For one
recipient, they arrive as "mim" files - so he says - but for the
otehrs they
look lie Word docs. My recipients can open the attachments using their
own
webmails, but not using Outlook or OE in XP.

I've no idea what this is - can anyone help?

Thanks.
