The attachements are .pdf or .ppt files. The message body
can be plain text, rich text, or html. It is the
attachment that has the problem. I can send Word
attachments and Publisher attachments and things work
fine. I am connect to an ISP (Adelphia)and using OUtlook.
I have tried connecting directly to Adelphia using there
WEB based mail system using Microsoft Internet Explorer.
When I create an email and attach the same attachment
typies that I am having a problem with it works fine when
I receive the email with Outlook. THe issue seems to be
when I sent the email from Outlook.
