Brian,

I didn't know this was happening unntil someone told me. If I send messages
out to myself or to my yahoo account they are messed up. When I use Yahoo to
send the same attachments to yahoo they are OK. When I send to my outlook
account they are OK. It only seems to mess up when I send them through
outlook -- web accounts are OK. I also checked the size limitation and it is
not set to limit sizes. This makes me wonder if it is my internet service
provider. What do you think?

Thanks for the help.

Rex

The receipient's mail client is having trouble with the structure of the
message. There is nothing obviously wrong with the headers you included in
your snippet. So, it could be their client has a problem or, perhaps, some
router between you and the person is damaging the message. Can you send the
message to yourself and examine it on your mail server using a web
interface? That can give you some indication whether or not your client
(i.e., Outlook 2000 IMO) is contributing to the problem. Also, as I said,
make sure Outlook's option (if, in fact, there is one - I don't have Outlook
2000 IMO installed anywhere to check) to split large messages into smaller
pieces is disabled.
