Sending email with attachments

I was trying to send and email to an employment prospect. I tried to send my
cover letter and resume as an attachment but when I click on send it showed
up as an error and I don't know why. I was told that I had to go into
security but I have know ideal how to allow my attachments to go with my
email. Please help me!

Go into Tools, Options, Security, and uncheck "Do not allow attachments..."

The complete error message would be helpful.

Could this possibly be from your Anti-virus software? Firewall software?

I've sent I don't know how many attachments with Windows Mail and have never
seen anything that would prevent it from "sending" an attachment.

Iirc that Windows Mail attachment security option is only applicable for
incoming mail and does not prevent outgoing attachments from being sent
unless something else is restricting a specific file type. A test also
shows it does not prevent a sent message with attachment from being viewed
in the sent folder once sent.

This is usually caused by an anti-spam program or an anti-virus set to scan
email.

Turn off email scanning in your anti-virus. It provides no added
protection. After doing so it may be necessary to reset the server names in
OE.

Email scanning slows down Sending and Receiving, sometimes enough that OE
times out. Since some of the received messages have large (often virus)
attachments, which exasperates the problem.
Some Comcast users have found it necessary to totally uninstall Norton and
switch to the free AVG with mail scanning off. Norton invented email
scanning and here's what they say:

"Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses
that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans
incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and
email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To
make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have
the most recent virus definitions."
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...256c7500723cf0

"...your computer is protected if Auto-Protect is enabled. Auto-Protect
scans any incoming files, including email attachments, when the files are
saved to your hard drive."
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...01100907323806

"NAV provides multiple layers of protection. Email scanning is just one of
those layers. Even if you are not running Email Scanning, your computer is
protected against viruses that are distributed as email attachments by NAV
Auto-Protect. Auto-Protect will scan any incoming files, including email
attachments, as they are saved to your hard drive. To make sure that
Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep Auto-Protect enabled
and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have the most recent virus
definitions."

So Symantec used to say this often and clearly. The newer stuff doesn't
have the statement included as it was considered an embarrassment. If you
know anyone who programs for Norton try to get them to talk about it.

According to the error message your attachment is too big. Remember that
attachments grow 30 - 40% when coded for email.

Do not send email

I answered you under your other thread 'Error Message OX800CCC7D."

Please, only one thread per issue. All you accomplish by multiple posting
is diluting the available help.
