Does this person have email virus scanning enabled?

That is, more often then not these days, why people have trouble with
attachments and often is the problem with other email problems that seem
highly suspect. I will, however, leave my opinions of Norton to the side for
the time being as it's not just they who seem to make applications that
limit email client functionality with their default settings.
