Peter:
Can anyone tell me why IE strips out a small mp3 attachment, presumably because it thinks it's harmful.

And how do I get around it please.

Can send in gmail but recipient doesn't use gmail, only ie.

Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine.

Peter

burakkucat:
I can't explain the eccentricities of IE (other than it is BGW  ;)  ) but I have a suggestion. Could you create a ZIP file containing the MP3 file and then send the Zip file to the recipient?

HPsauce:
IE isn't an email client so your comment makes no sense.  :no:
Please explain a bit more what you are doing.

kitz:
I'm pressuming that Peter's friend means OE?

I'm also not sure why it would be stripping out an mp3 as it should be there as an attachment unless for som strange reason it's the antivirus.   

Bcats suggestion of try sending it as a zipped file is the best idea to see if it works like that.


The only other thing that springs to mind is that the recipient doesn't have the necessary codec to play the file?

I also don't understand this either. Sender and recipient don't have to use the same email system.  ???
A bit more information would help, such as:
What sender users, what recipient uses for email and which email services (e.g. ISP) they are.
Where file is being stripped and how you know that.
Are you (Peter) the sender or recipient
