When I send email with a .jpg file attached the recipient
sees a filename with .dat added to it. Also, it comes in
5 or 10 times. For example: filename.jpg.dat [1/5], then
[2/5], etc. I am able to send text file attachments
without problems. What is happening and how do I correct
it?
Thanks

OK. It works. The large file was being divided up into
separate files. They aren't neccessarily received at the
same time. They weren't recombining automatically. I
deselected the "break up files" box under
tools/accounts/advanced and the whole file gets sent. I
reselected the box and a file gets broken up and
recombined automatically.
Thanks for your help.
