Well. Robert, let me change that line and say that I HOPE it was'nt your last response.
In fact I DO have a gmail account as well as a yahoo, myway,and OE.
So, I will play around with them as you suggested and see what I can find out.
NO, my friend is not much help. I did ask her if she could check her settings, but she had no idea what that meant. She just insists that she neither receives or sends anything in attachments.
My final decision might just to make more use of the delete button.
Thanks for your help.

So, Marion, how do you know that was my last response? Hmmm?
Well, emails from Macs are a bit strange, "I must say," as Ed Grimley might
have written. They are a pain to trim, if Forwarding or Replying.
Possibly there is a setting that she is unaware of; but, I doubt
it. Either she is "Forwarding as an Attachment," or is Forwarding an email
she received with an Attachment. The best thing to do is to
observe the address information in the body carefully, in the email you
receive from her. That should give you the answer.
It may be helpful for you to get another email account, e.g., a Google
account. Google is more functional than many web based email services. Then you
could send emails to your Google account, with Attachments, Forwarded emails
with Attachments, etc. It may help you to figure it out, and will be an
interesting experiment. Also, you might want to find the Properties setting in
your email browser window, and read the Properties of her email, if at all
possible. At least you might discover what program or service she uses
to send. That may be a clue. Asking her will probably not be too helpful, I
gather.
But, even if you figure it all out, she may not be interested in being
helpful. It might be best to grit your teeth, and just hit "Delete!"

problems
Robert,Your last response DID come into my inbox, and I
have read thematerial in the links inserted by Karl. Thanks.
Now we'll just haveto wait for AT&T to get their act
together.I have another email question unrelated to the problem we
have beendiscussing. I have a friend who sends me many forwards and
theyalways come in attachments. This has become very annoying to me.
Shesays she NEVER sends attachments, nor do they come to her
that way.Usually it takes at least three trys before they open until I
decideit's not worth it. It does'nt matter if it contains graphics or
isjust text. I've wondered if it's her settings or mine or
neither. She has a Mac,ISP is Verizon, though that is probably not
relevant. Can anyone giveme a clue as to why this happens?
Thanks.Marion
