WMV files.

From: PA Bear [MS MVP] on 25 Feb 2010 02:05 What happens when you try to open WMV attachments? Post any error messages in their entirety. What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)? Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)? Tip: Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides no additional protection, it may be causing the problem, and even Symantec says it's not necessary: <QP> Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses that are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have the most recent virus definitions. </QP> http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nav.nsf/docid/2002111812533106 � Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email http://thundercloud.net/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm beeman wrote: > They are attachments. > >> Are these WMV files attachments or embedded in an HTML message? >> >> If the latter, are you creating these messages and then sending them to >> yourself as a test? >> >> beeman wrote: >>> I tried that as suggested in a previous post.

And the wmv.attachment doers not open in outlook express. I shut off e-mail attachment scanning and it didn't help.
