Default Recipients Get Mangled Attachments

Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Advanced, uncheck the Break apart
option.

If that's not the problem, make sure that your anti-virus program is NOT
scanning Outgoing mail. With some anti-virus (and anti-spam) programs,
simply disabling the e-mail scanning function doesn't really disable it.
It simply tells the program not to flag any messages. It still
processes all the messages and may still cause send/receive problems.
What you may need to do is uninstall the anti-virus program, then
reinstall it using a custom install option and unselect the e-mail
scanning component for installation.

Hi,

The last while I have been having issues with some attachments sent to
some contacts. When they get them from me all they see is jumbled code
in the body of the email. I use outlook express 6.00.299.1280 (sp2) on
XP Pro sp2.

For example when sending a PDF attachment to a gmail contact -always
mangled- ALWAYS. If I go into my hotmail account and send same PDF to
gmail contact -no problem.

Same happens sporadically with non-gmail contacts and ones I have sent
attachments to with no problems for years.

Any ideas.

Thanks...

David S
