RE: To Nor:t Problems with Email Attachments
Hi guys,

Eric B. tells me you've been having problems sending attachments through email.  If you're using Outlook (any version), this is because the Microsoft security update from about a week ago created a weird problem.  Any attachment with an ! symbol or more than two .. in a row in its file name gets identified as a potential threat and gets blocked by Outlook (for your safety, of course).  

The fix is one of two things.

What I did was to uninstall the last Outlook 2007 security update from my computer.  Once I did that, everything was fine.

If you don't like option #1, then you could just name your game file without ! symbols.

Hope this helps until Microsoft resolves the problem. ( they are aware of it).

Here's a link to the bug report:
