Ever since I upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows 2000, I have been unable to send an attached file of any size in an email message. This occurs when sending from both Outlook Express and web-based mail (e.g., Hotmail), both in Internet Explorer and Netscape. By "any size," I mean something larger than 50KB or so. Has anyone incurred this problem or seen a solution to this?

As an additional comment, I forgot to mention that I am presently operating through a dialup modem, simply because broadband is not available where I live for about the next six months.

Have you checked the security settings in Outlook itself? Often there is a list of attachments that are not allowed through.
Try opening the security level and see if you can then send attachments that way.
Good Luck
