I have XP pro. Now when I forward pictures or send pictures or any

attachments. It says attachment but there isn't any file extension.
Or sometimes they don't get the email at all. I have contacted my ISP
and they say it is a OE problem. I think all of my options are
correct. Set up for HTML and blocking file attachments unchecked. I
use AVG virus protection but without the email scanner.

I do not use the email scanner in AVG - it is turned off. *I received
an email with pictures that I tried to forward but no one got it. *I
tried to send it to myself and it worked. *I also sent myself a pdf
file and a jpg which I received. *So it appears that I can receive

saved messages two days ago.

Now, *forward* those two test messages to yourself. Do you get them?

You wouldn't be using MS Outlook and not Outlook Express by any chance?

Who is your ISP/mail server?
