My windows mail program automatically shuts itself down when I select
"Insert" then "Attachment". As soon as my attachments open for a brief
moment, the program shuts down. What's strange is that I can send a photo
without issue. This happened last week when I was sending a stupid movie to
a group of friends. The e-mail was successfully sent to the primary group.
I then wanted to send the same movie file to a few other e-mail contacts. I
went to my sent e-mail folder, clicked on the e-mail just sent to the first
group, hit the forward button to save a few steps by not needing to re-type
the e-mail message. I then deleted the original group of recipients from
this e-mail so that the new group didn't have to read that information and
when I attempted to send it, it shut down. From that point on Windows Mail
has immediately shut down every time I attempt to send an attachment.
As a business owner, I need to be able to send attachments on a regular
basis. Working with contractors, I routinely receive drawings, sketches,
etc. from project sites and have to send these attachments with internal
documentation to my other subcontractors for pricing. Most incoming e-mail
attachments are saved to a job folder and later used as an outgoing
attachment in a separate e-mail. The only work around I've found at the
office is to print the attachment and fax it (very time consuming and not
practical with large format drawings) for the time being or to forward the
file to my home e-mail account or another internal office e-mail account and
send it to the intended recipient from there.
