Just some stuff to add to this:

Or unless it's one of the older ones like I have here. Another thought to
add to this is are you using some sort of mail scanning with McAfee? If so
turn it off as it's a waste of resources and ads no greater protection than
you'd already have with the full time scanner running. Don't ask me HOW to
turn it off as I don't use it, it will be in the help files somewhere.

Oh, one more thing, are these files compressed? I'm able to send and receive
attachments with Hotmail from Outlook Express.
