Hi,

Wrote about this earlier and thought the problem had been solved but it's
cropped back up again.

Mom's computer is running Windows XP. She uses Outlook Express. When I
send her an email with an attachment she gets that email with all the
header material printed along with all sorts of other coded material which
should be hidden but isn't. In addition, the photo is coming through as
thousands of letters, numbers, etc.

I am sending her these notes using Windows XP Pro using Outlook as my
email platform.

She swears mine is the only email with photo attachments that this is
happening to.

Any ideas, anyone as to where I should start on this?

Thanks.

Send me an email (Just use reply button) and I will let you know what I get.
I think it may be security settings at her end .


Email is a simple system and ALL attachments are sent encoded as "Letter and
numbers" and have to be decoded again at the other end. This actually makes
the attachment bigger than it really is which is why email if quite a poor
method for exchanging things like pictures.

That's why it sounds like her OE is having trouble decoding it.
