Problem with jpg attachments

[Dave]

This is really an outlook item, but that msnewsgroup has been out to lunch
for the past several days. I have posted this message there about 6 times,
and it has never even appeared as a listing.

I would really appreciate any comments on the jpg thing- constructive
preferred

thx
Dave


I have 2 comps on separate ISP accounts. Occasionally, we sent a message
from one to the other, via the ISP All of a sudden, however, we find that
we cannot send messages either way if there is a jpg attachment. The
outgoing message starts out properly in the Outbox, then moves to Sent at
completion. The recipient, however, gets neither the message nor the
attachment. Same situation when the sender/recipient are reversed.

Any suggestions as to what's going on here?

Both machines Win XP SP3 OE6 IE7

Thx
Dave

Please don't refer to Outlook Express (OE) as "Outlook" (OL).

If you have an OE-specific question, post it in OE General newsgroup,
not WinXP General.

MS newsgroups have been "out too lunch" periodically for the past year
or so. It's an ongoing problem on Microsoft's end that they still
haven't fixed. This issue is usually seen on weekends and holidays
when the newsservers are running on auto-pilot.

Now to the topic of your post:

1. If you send such a message to yourself (e.g., from (e-mail address removed) to
(e-mail address removed), not (e-mail address removed)), does the message arrive?

2. If the anti-virus application on each computer is configured to
scan incoming/outgoing mail, disable this scanning. Disable email
scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides no additional
protection, it may be causing the problem. See...

3. Are the two email addresses "aliases" for the same mailbox (e.g.,
(e-mail address removed) & (e-mail address removed)) or not (e.g., (e-mail address removed) &
(e-mail address removed))?
