Problem with attachments.

[jetjock]

I have had a couple people who use Outlook Express for their email,
tell me that they can't open .wmv movies that I send to them. They
report getting the following error message:

Cannot find file://:c:\qualcomm\eudora\attach\(file name).wmv. Make
sure path or Internet address is correct.

The last complaint I received, the guy replied to my letter, and the
file that I attached played just fine for me from his reply, so the
file is getting sent.

I have Eudora set for MIME encoding of attachments, and to put text
attachments in the body. Can anyone tell me any suggestions on how
they can see my videos? Is this a Outlook Express problem or something
I'm doing?

P.S. Sending this to microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support &

How are you sending those files? It sounds like you are only sending
the path to those movies on your own computer (which explains that you
can play them from the replies) instead of the files themselves.

not sure, but sometimes you simply have to right click on the attachment and
save it somewhere first, then find and or open it. Also, i don't know much
about the security file system, but you could also send the files in zip
form..... These are only suggestions that will help bypass the quirks you
have.....
