problem with email attachment
My Outlook 2002 has now decided to go on a selective strike of sorts. Its not allowing me to send out emails with files attached... (????) Could I have some sort of weird virus?
Ive not been able to send out anything with a file, and we are not talking big files here.... its like 100K worth of word and excel files... any ideas whats going on?
Thanks.

Apparently you're not alone:

Is the recipient using Outlook 2002? It blocks many types of attachments from being opened or executed:

One solution is to try sending the attachment as a .ZIP file.

Thanks for the advice and the sympathy.
I will confess that I have a sort of mental block with Macs. Its an embedded sort of branding/image thing.... I just dont see myself using a Mac. I think I have Mac-o-fobia...
I think Im just going to weather it out until sometime next year, when I hope to get a new T43 or T50 with what will hopefully be a more stable Win OS and Office Suite..... as they say, hope is the last thing one looses...
PS to Scotty-- you better have some solutions for me ready.....
