MP3 attachment are recieved as untitled.bin in Outlook, OutlookExpress is OK?

[Guest MelvinEdward]

Our office has 45 workstations. When Clients send a PM3 attachment to

our office (Example mps size is 2Meg file) it shows up as a (1meg) on

all the Outlook workstations as an untitled.bin file, and it won't

open up. With the exception of two workstations that use Outlook

Express and they receive it ok.

I tried the leve1remove in the registry that was not help. I can play

a MP3 on all the workstations so the file association is ok. It can't

be the ISP as two workstations receive the MP3. The virus protection

is a different vendor on the affected workstations, so it's not

associated with that.

I did find that you can rename the untitled.bin to xxxxx.mp3 and it

plays and the file size comes back to (2) Meg.

I am at a total loss!!!

Try compressing the .mp3 files into a .zip archive, then sending the .zip

archive as an attachment.

"PM3" ? No wonder it's not recognised.

I hope that's just a typo.

Hi Allen,

That works to zip it up. I'm just trying to find out why it does what

it does. Also i did spell MP3 wrong on my posting.

Thanks for your input.
