defect detected. No good to me! I haven't got a clue what there on about!!
Any ideas please & another question: if I were to reinstall Outlook Express

thanks.

It's a valid question. The original poster said:
: Trying to forward an email with attachment (jpg.1.35mb) this is the
error
I
: receive from MAILER-DAEMON: Remote host said: 550-X-Mime-Error.Serious

: defect detected.

If the file is actually named jpg.1.35mb, it will likely trigger
antispam/antivirus tools because it appears to have a double extension *and* it
looks like an attachment with an unknown file type (.35mb) designed to *look
like* a jpg.

That was the exact reason that I asked.
The original poster could have said, with attachment (jpg 1.35mb) or with
jpg attachment (1.35mb).

Check in OE at Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Advanced. If the
Break Apart option is checked, uncheck it.

If you have an anti-virus program scanning outgoing mail, disable that
option.

Excuse me, why are you giving me this information? Is it relevant to my
