16824 2001-08-11 03:19:00 quite often when I send an email, the people that I send them to get the body(typed) part of the message but don't recieve the attachments. When I go to my sent box, the email shows entirely, with the email as though it has gone, and the email has taken quite a while to send as though it has sent the attachment, but the resipiants don't recieve the attachment. Any hints? Guest (0)
16825 2001-08-11 03:36:00 What e-mail program are you using and how large are the attachments?

The server may be blocking the attactments for a number of reasons, eg Too big, or blocking potential viruses.

Another problems is e-mail isn't designed to send files, so sending of large attachments will be unreliable.

I am using Outlook 2000.
The problem seems to be intermitent, I can send an email with an attachment to 6 to 10 people, some of them get an attachment and some don't, and then when they tell me they haven't got the attachment and then I send it to them again, then some times it goes through intact.
