Attachments

[ggeribaldy]

It appears when I attach a file to a message in Outlook
2000 (SP-3), Outlook automatically "zips" it. When
creating the message you can open the attachment
(ex: *.jpg) and view it fine. When hitting the "Send"
button it gets saved to the Outbox folder, but is now
changed into a "zip". Not just adding a file extention, it
actually compresses the file, and that becomes the new
attachment. Even after removing WinZip from the system
a "non-associated" file becomes the new attachment!
Problem is, my ISP is filtering zip files now. Don't ask
me why. Anyhow, I cannot find any settings in Outlook to
change the "automatic" compressing of attachments. Anyone
know what I can do to stop the torture?

Are you working in a company where the IT department may have added some
sort of add-in? Or you did? Winzip has a beta add-in for doing this,
but you have to put in proactively. http://www.winzip.com/beta.htm

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Also ... very strange that an ISP would filter outgoing mails. Frankly,
never heard of this ... Which ISP? Do you have a URL on which they
announced this service?

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.
