unwanted attachments

two people I recently emailed said that my email (that was sent with a
document attached) also had 30-40 gif attachments that wouldn't open.

Where did those gif attachments come from? Is it a virus?

Thank you in advance!

Thank you in advance!

I suspect that you have WM set to break apart large messages at
Tools>accounts>select
your account>properties>advanced tab.

The default is set at 60KB.

You can try sending your message again with that checkbox cleared.

Your ISP may have a maximum sending size limit in operation and reject
excessively large attachments?

Or You can set the break apart setting at say 500KB and that should be OK

Remember that WM adds around 33% to the size of attachments.
If you send a 300KB document it will be in excess of 400KB in your sent
folder, and at your recipients end.

The 30 / 40 Parts of the message that was sent can be made into one mail by
selecting each part and then on the Message menu choose 'Combine & Decode,
then double click the resultant attachment to open the mail as you sent it.

You should advise your recipient of how to do 'Combine & Decode'.

If you are unsure then please get back.
