Yesterday at around 3:00 in the afternoon, my world came crashing down. Suddenly, I was unable to send or forward any email which contained a Word document.
Upon sending (or forwarding, it seems), my status gets to near 100%, then displays "There was an error copying to your sent folder". I hit retry a few times, then give up and chose cancel. I'm told "Your email was successfully sent, but not saved." No biggie. It got where it was going.
Er, no.
Moments later, I'm provided a delivery failure notification from my ISP. It says the remote host returned it for "bad data". Scrolling down the notification, I see the body of my sent email, my signature file, then a bunch of gobbledy-good squares and random symbols, followed by a decent approximation of the text of the Word document.
It's as if my email program has decided to dump the contents of the Word file in the email body, rather than send it along as an attachment. And it's not smart enough to dump just the text, so all the file and data info is being sent along, gumming up the works.
.pdf files send fine. So do .xls files. It's a Word thing. I've thrown out my Normal Template and created new files... no luck. Same error. Old files, new files... doesn't matter. HELP!
