Re: Emailing MP3's


Since three others on the list for that email (all BCC's) did not have the filename/extension change, it seems likely the source of the problem is that one recipient's email account.

I emailed an MP3 file to a person recently and it was received as a TMP file. I tried sending other files to him and all were received with filenames like ATT177.TMP, ATT178.TMP, etc. When he changes the extension to MP3 the file plays normally. How is the filename being changed and what is the source of this change, the sending or receiving computer? I'm sending via Outlook 2000 and he also has Outlook 2000.

This is being done by either the sender's or recipient's email client or mail server, not by XP.

You will need to do some testing to see where exactly the change is occurring, and the IT staff should be able to help you.

It is important in tracking this down to know what the mail servers in use are - are they Exchange or Notes servers, for example?
