Cannot Send Attachments

IE 7 OE6

When I try to send an email with attachments ( e.g. 2 x *.bmp files of about
500k total) the attachment box clears itself and OE hangs.

Other mail i.e. with no attachments get sent OK.

Any ideas please.

TIA
Andrew

Might want to create a new identity in Outlook Express, switch to it and
create the mail account in it and test if that one works. There may be some
registry corruption in your existing identity ( particularly if it is the
default "Main Identity" created when installed).

Attachments garbled Often, but not consistantly, attachments open but are mostly a zillion squares, symbols and a few clear words. What gives? Is the sender in Mac or what? Sometimes I can delete pages of the garbage and finally get the clear text, but not all the time. T
