Can't send XML files in Windows Live Mail

When I try to attach an XML file to an email message, WLM freezes. Attachments and mailing work fine with other file types. Anyone know what's going on here? Thanks.

Hi Arthur,

I normally use Outlook 2010 for my emails, however I also have WLM installed so I decided to fire that up and send a test XML file to myself. No problems. It sent and was received without any problems. Could it possibly be a corrupt file? Perhaps your email account profile is corrupt. Try creating a new one to see if that solves the problem.

Should work. You could always zip your file and send it that way.

Thanks for the ideas. I tried creating a new account and resending, but that didn't work. It behaved just like my main account--freezes when I hit the send button. Is there a way to confirm or check my email account profile? Even if the xml file is corrupt, it should still send it as is, right? Sending the file works when I send it from other accounts--just not WLM.

Try a repair installation of WLM.

Renaming the file is an interesting idea. I'll try that.

Concerning a repair installation of WLM, how do I do that? Are you suggesting that I remove WLM and then reinstall it fresh?

Thanks.

I'll check the options and try a test send with my AVG off (just for a moment). I can attach an xml file and send it successfully from my gmail and yahoo mail accounts.

I checked options settings. They seem OK. AVG settings seem OK, too. I can attach and send xml files OK in Outlook on the same computer. Just not in WLM. Is there a setting I missed? Thanks.
