MP3 attachment are recieved as untitled.bin in Outlook, OutlookExpress is OK?

Our office has 45 workstations. When Clients send a PM3 attachment to
our office (Example mps size is 2Meg file) it shows up as a (1meg) on
all the Outlook workstations as an untitled.bin file, and it won't
open up. With the exception of two workstations that use Outlook
Express and they receive it ok.
I tried the leve1remove in the registry that was not help. I can play
a MP3 on all the workstations so the file association is ok. It can't
be the ISP as two workstations receive the MP3. The virus protection
is a different vendor on the affected workstations, so it's not
associated with that.
I did find that you can rename the untitled.bin to xxxxx.mp3 and it
plays and the file size comes back to (2) Meg.
I am at a total loss!!!

Try compressing the .mp3 files into a .zip archive, then sending the .zip
archive as an attachment.

Hi Allen,
That works to zip it up. I'm just trying to find out why it does what
it does. Also i did spell MP3 wrong on my posting.
Thanks for your input.
