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.

Hi,

I'm using Outlook to create email on this machine and don't see those this
path you want me to follow.

The machine still has Outlook Express on it. Following that path this
"break apart messages" was already unchecked.

Then you may do better asking in an Outlook newsgroup especially if this
happens only from mail sent by you as you said.

Bruce,

You are, of course, correct.

Thanks, I'll post my query there.

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.

Quick reply re the emails, both arrived just fine here Douglas whether I
view in plain text or HTML. No header data or anything like it. If you want
to try a picture that's fine too.

Could this be something to do with Mom's security software? Antivirus email
scanning for example, that's not good with OE. If it turns out to be a
problem at her end you would of course be in the right group so keep an eye
on both

Thanks Charlie,

I suspect it's on my mom's end.

She's on high speed access now so at least I can talk with her on the phone
while we try various things.

Regards,
