    Windows Mail deleting attachments

    Hi all I need help. I sent an email with an attachement but it seems that
    Widows mail is stripping the attachement off. I have gone under security and
    unchecked the blocking option for attachement but no help. Any other
    suggestions?

    Any error message when you send?
    What makes you think the attachment is being stripped off?
    What happens when you send it to yourself?
    Which antivirus program are you using?

    Hi Gary, thanks for the response back...

    1- I am not getting any errors at all the email shows up just fine but
    without the attachement. I can view the email with the attachement on
    Comcast.net before it downloads onto my hardrive. but once I open it with my
    Windows mail there is not attachement. I did a test and sent the same
    attachement from my Hotmail account and I was able to see it. I click on my
    email name that is getting the attachement stripped out and I added it to
    safe senders list.

    2- the reason I say the attachement is being stripped off is because I
    receive the email with no attachement at all or even a notification that it
    has been stripped.

    3- When fW to myself I receive the attachement just fine. Also when I
    forward it at the same time to both my hotmail account and comcast account I
    receive the attachement on the hotmail account but not on my Comcast.

    4- I am using Micro Trend that came with my Dell PC.
