Attachments

Hi; when I forward attachments to my friends they receive them in what they call “computer language” that can’t be read. These are messages that come in as attachments and I have to click on to open. I read them and then forward them; they’re not ones I create. Some messages do go though. One friend say’s that it is in all the text messages I send him, but I’m not sure of that. This even happens when I send my kids things on the same computer. Any ideas what this is? I’m using Comcast Cable with the free McAfee security that comes with it and Windows XP. Thanks

what type of extension do the attacments have? Are they pics or word documents.? Some word docs are not compitble with oters. Like office 07 cannot read 03 docs without a pacth etc..

Hi Geek and thanks for replying. Would that make a difference since the problem also happens when I forward mail to people on my own computer? They’re using either Office Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2003 the same as I am.
