[Land-speed] OT, Computer File Attachment Query...

[drmayf]

Ok, so I gets this file that is an *.wmv movie file. I want to sent it 
to the wife.  It came to me as an attachment and I forwarded it sending 
it in both Text and HTML. Both of those bounced. I look at what I send 
and it is straight forward. A few lines of text message and an attached 
file.  I look at the bounce notice and see that the *.wmv file has been 
decoded into its compresed format and there are lots of lettrs and 
symbols...like a jpg if uncompressed and looked at in text form.   I 
tried sending as just a text message with the file attached, and as just 
an HTML with a file attached. I get bounce notices on both because of 
the expanded file again. This morning I saved the file and wrote a new  
message rather than the forward message and attached the file. Again 
just a few words on the sent message and an attached file. Again it 
bounced because it was expanded.

The expanded messages fail because they far exceede the message size 
settings for messages.. I can send just about any file without regard to 
size...

So what the heck is going on? I send lots of files and occasionally this 
happens but generally just to movie files.    Is it my email virus scan 
on out going? Or someting at my ISP or?

Any thoughts?

Yeah, it is probably because I rant and rave about head restraints. 
there, I've said it so you wont have to , lol..
