MSN Email

Sep 23, 2005 8:07PM PDT

My friend has an email address xxx@msn.com. When I send him attachments, they are blocked. He says he is using MSN email not Hotmail which I can't relate to. Is there some setting he can change in order to be able to open my attachments?

If he is using Outlook Express, tell him to go to

Tools

options

security

click on internet zone

uncheck the box saying do not allow attachments.

That should work

Hope this helps

He said he doesn't use OE. I asked if he used Hotmail and he said no that he used MSN Mail. Since I don't use that I can't relate to it.
