Hi guys,
does anyone know how to get your e-mail to stop blocking so many attachments? It even blocks attachments sent from my Dad's office e-mail to my family home e-mail address... Can anyone tell me what the problem is and how to solve it? Thanks!
God bless you,
Wiggins

How are you reading your mail? Hotmail, Outlook, Eudora, Entourage, Pegasus, Apple Mail, Yahoo! Mail, ... ?

Is it possible your ISP is doing it? Some ISPs have settings that will prevent attachments it deems to be hazardous from being delivered. But then again, from what you said, I don't have enough information to figure if it's an Outlook setting or something to do with the ISP...

It does say that something removed it because it might be harmful... I think the something is called OE, but I'm not sure...

OE = Outlook Express. You might look at its attachment settings (fortunately, I don't use Outlook ^^ ).
