I hope I am in the right group. After sending OE text (.doc)
attachments for many months, they have suddenly become unreadable to
the recipient. It appears sender and recipient have both been using
MIME1 - HTML?. All the settings have been checked to the best of my
ability. Any assistance would be appreciated

If you send the attachment to yourself, is it "readable"?

No, I'm afraid not, but I have discovered that if I send the
attachments from my web based gmail account to myself, they appear OK.
Thanks for the suggestion. 4:04 pm, "PA Bear"

Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides no
additional protection, it's probably causing the problem, and even Symantec
says it's not necessary:

paste
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.

Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Advanced, uncheck the Break Apart
option.

If that's OK, are they arriving as DOC files, or something else?

If you like, you may e-mail me a sample document and I'll take a look at
it to see what me be wrong.
