I emailed an MP3 file to a person recently and it was received as a TMP
file. I tried sending other files to him and all were received with
filenames like ATT177.TMP, ATT178.TMP, etc. When he changes the extension
to MP3 the file plays normally. How is the filename being changed and what
is the source of this change, the sending or receiving computer? I'm
sending via Outlook 2000 and he also has Outlook 2000.

If you send to a gmail or hotmail address, is it received fine as an MP3
file? If it is, then you don't have a problem, the other person does. If
it isn't, then I'd look at any outlook integrated virus checkers to disable
on your side. Which, actually, is what he'll need to do if its on his side.

Make sure the sending format is HTML or Plain Text.
