When I send a email with an .JPG attachment, ms mail sends mulitiple messages
to all recepents but they cannot open the attachment and they recieve many
copies of the email.

apart... (uncheck/disable)

2. Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides no
additional protection, it may be causing the problem, and even Symantec says
it's not necessary:

<QP>
Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans
incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and
email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To
make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have
the most recent virus definitions.

Thanks, I just tried that once before and once after a reboot. Still trying
to send 34 copies. I am using Vista 64, bitdefender 9.

Did you do #1 and #2?

How large is the message in question?

Delete the message that is in your Outbox, and send it again.
 
I did not see this at first (. Tools | Accounts | Mail | [account] |

I wish I had read more closely. Have tried it with the email virus scanning
on and it still only sends one copy. I don't have this problem on my other
2 systems (both Vista 32, bitdefender 9) but I learned something new.

YW. It was #1 in my first reply to your thread.
I did not see this at first (. Tools | Accounts | Mail | [account] |
Properties | Advanced | Break
apart... (uncheck/disable) but it worked. Thanks to all.
