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
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?
