I can send an email with an attachment without any problem. However if
I receive an email with an attachment and then try to forward it on to
someone else it appears to go all right. Then I get a message that the
email failed to be delivered. Here is the error message....

This message has been rejected because it has
     a potentially executable attachment "testing attachments.eml"
     This form of attachment has been used by
     recent viruses or other malware.
     If you meant to send this file then please
     package it up as a zip file and resend it.

This appears to be a response from the sending or more likely the receiving server. Is it correct you can send email with another type of attachment to the same recipient successfully?

I don't understand this. I can send a new email with an attachment but
I can't forward one that was previously sent to me.

Incidentally the attachment was not executable. If it is relevant I am
using Linux Mint 10 KDE.

Can anyone help please?

Does it happen only when you forward a message with attachments on its own, or does it happen when you forward simple text message, also? If the later is also true, I think it is quite possible the receiving server could be operating in "paranoid mode", as Philip TAYLOR has already noted in another reply.
