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:

Server
Error: 451, Socket Error: 10053, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

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.

Reinstalling won't fix a thing. Check your account settings with those of
your laptop. Account: Home doesn't look right and I believe it's a server
sided issue.

If the settings are correct, do an experiment. Do you have an attachment you
can't forward right now? Save it to your HDD and then attach it to a new
message and send it to yourself. Does it go? If it does not go, can you copy
the saved attachment to your laptop with a flash or CD? If you can, see if
it goes from there.
