Sometime old communications carriers can screw up Word documents because of
the different in byte sizes uses. The way to ensure your documents get
through is to ZIP the documents and then attach to the email.

: Hey Shauna,
:
: Great, you did help me a lot & I appreciate it. I did
: some tests and have sent off a request for Bellsouth.NET E-
: MAIL Tech Support help based on what you told me. The
: tests I did was to have a file sent to me on Bellsouth.NET
: & a CC to a Yahoo account I also have on this machine. I
: can open the attachment fine is Yahoo, but it still Barf's
: up in Bellsouth.NET. Next I went to a friends house who
: has windows '98SE (my machine has Windows XP PRO & Office
: 2000) but he has the newer Office XP PRO. The same thing
: happened, Yahoo was fine on his machine, Bellsouth.net
: failed.
:
: Take care,
:
