1206886 2011-06-04 04:48:00 I've started using a Live.com email address in Hotmail.
Don't ask me why I don't use gmail......ok you just did. I use Live.com because it was the only free email service that had my correctly spelt full name left as an email address.

Anyway....People keep sending me emails with attachments. I recieve the email but not the attachment. Hotamil says I've got gigs of storage so that shouldn't be a problem.

Is their a setting within hotmail that is preventing me from recieving attachments?

My browser shouldn't affect what I view in Hotmail, should it?
Am using current Firefox on Win 7 PC and browser on latest iPhone OS.

1206887 2011-06-05 06:26:00 You viewing the email in Hotmail or downloading the email elsewhere first?

Does the attachment give you a warning, hotmail saying attachment blocked or any such message?

Probably best to ask them to send it inside a password-protected ZIP file or something.
