Dieter,=20 Guess the default settings for up to date versions of Outlook (security patches applied) are probably the cause: Attachments that MS considers harmfull are disabled by default (.exe, .vbs et all). It is even possible to set security to maximum, thus disabling=20 ANY attachment from entering the inbox. The new XP firewall might also cause problems. My personal workaround for mails from Linux to Win and vice versa is via MSN / Hotmail. They even scan for viruses for you ;-) Feel free to send any testmails / attachments to drd...@ho... (winxp) AND drd...@ms... I will be happy to compare notes.
