All attachments? Even text only?

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer
of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving, and
causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes
and has even been responsible for lose of messages. Your up-to-date A/V
program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:

Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program
and reinstall in Custom Mode and opt out of e-mail scanning when the option
arises.

I have a new computer with XP. About 3 weeks ago, Outlook Express started
not allowing me to forward mail with attachments. I get the following
error
message:

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes
for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Subject 'Fw: Bush's "resignation" speech', Account: 'Home',

My contact person at my ISP has no clue. I don't have many, but think it
is
probably something in the OE on this computer, as I can forward messages
with
attachments from my lap top.

Will appreciate any help. I have made OE the default mail handler - to no
avail.

I turned off the e-mail scanning before posting. It seems to be selective about the attachments it won't forward. Week before last, I had a message that had several "Maxine" cartoons attached and it wouldn't forward it. I am at my wit's end. Don't feel qualified to remove IE (if that's what it takes to remove OE) and reinstall it.
