Hi edsnotch, welcome to the forums

Are you sending this via the Hotmail web interface, or using something like Windows Live Mail?

Thx Ian! Through Windows internet explorer Outlook Express (under file/send/

link by email). I currently use Cox high speed internet with a hotmail account. Thx! E

Not sure whether this would help. Did you try changing the IE security checking as mentioned in this post
