Again, the problem is not on your end, assuming OE Tools | Accounts | Mail |
[account] | Properties | Advanced | Break apart messages larger than...
=this option is NOT checked/enabled.

Tip: See if using Plain Text format makes any difference in the way messages
& attachments are received my your correspondents.

I thought that to, but if I send using Pegasus it works.

I've turned off the email scanner but that seems not ot have made any
difference.

Can you successfully open an attachment to a message you've sent to

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.
