[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1593270, member: 38864"] Ah... good! I was just about to make some suggestions/observations, which MacInWin largely addressed already. I definitely think this was a problem with the email server, even if it was just affecting you (or perhaps a limited number of people). It definitely wasn't something wrong with the OS update, judging from the fact that your son, on the same Mac, had no issues. So there was no chance of that. It may have been related to the size of the attachments... maybe the server was choking on anything over a certain size? The server may have been accidentally clipping part of the MIME code, so it couldn't be translated back into a file. That's my best guess at the moment, but since it's resolved, no need to troubleshoot further. One quick comment about Onyx.... it's not dangerous for inexperienced users. Far from it in fact, which is why we recommend it so often. MacInWin already touched more on that subject, so I have nothing more to add to that. [/QUOTE]
