Grant, Presumably you were sending your wife sxw (Writer) or sxc (Calc) files and it's these that aren't getting through any more. OOo doesn't make any changes to Outlook Express, but it does associate the file extensions .sx* and .od*, so OE might see them slightly differently. I don't use OE myself, but I imagine that there's a setting in there somewhere that lists all of the allowed (or maybe disallowed) file extensions. Have a rummage around and see if you can find anything. HTH, Simon
