| | how to fix error 'NUL characters are not allowed' Not sure if this belongs here, but I don't know where else to ask for help. I tried sendng a plain 3 sentence email, no graphics, nothing, and recieved this error. What is it and anyone know what I can do to fix it? I've sent emails to this address before with no problem, last one being a week ago. Any ideas, please? Thanks. |

| | Re: how to fix error 'NUL characters are not allowed' Trend Micro AV used to be compatible with Windows Mail, but lately we've had a rash of Trend users here with mail problems. As a test, uninstall your AV, reboot, then test Windows Mail again. If the problem is gone, download and install a more compatible antivirus like the free Avast: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html Even compatible antivirus programs will need to have their email scanning option turned off.
