Are you using Rich Text format? If so, that's why. Rich Text is only compatible with Outlook..not other email programs. Switch to plain text or html. If that's not it, there is a bug in 2002 where this happens occasionally. Usually a reboot fixes it. If not, be sure you have all the updates from Microsoft. If none of that works, do a full virus scan NOW. Linda Linda's Computer Stop http://personal-computer-tutor.com ABC Free Ezine ~ Free Ebooks and Tutorials *all outgoing mail scanned by Norton AV.
