I use neither MSN or AOL so don't know for sure how web mail is handled (by
what) but you are posting here with Outlook Express 6.00.2900.5843. My OE
is v.6.00.2900.5512. It won't attach folders and I'm reasonably sure
earlier ones did not either. I'd be rather surprised if *anything* did.

What you *can* do is zip the files in the folder and send the zip (since it
is a single file) or select (highlight) *all the files within a folder*,
then attach (they will be attached as multiple single files). Keep in mind
mist ISPs have a size limit on mail.

Thanks that worked.I zipped the file using Winzip. Note, previously before
posting, I did try to attach individual files and they attached; however,
there are some shortcuts included in the folder and they would not attach
either. I assumed that may have been due to the fact that the documents
they point to are not being included in the attachment. I also assume that
when the receiver clicks on these shortcuts they will get a message re
missing shortcut. That is OK with me. I just want the folder I am sending
to look like the one on my hard drive.

I did not tell you to uninstall it and leave it uninstalled. I told you to uninstall
it and then re-install it without the email integration option.

McAfee scanning is your issue

I don't know every e-mail program, but as a general rule, you can
*not* attach folders. You can only attach files. But you can attach
multiple files, and attaching all the files in a folder is easy, by
doing a select all (ctrl-a) and then attaching.

Just a guess, but if you've attached a folder before, perhaps you
attached a zip file, which looks like a folder.

Thanks. Now I'm clear on this issue.
