XML attachment

When I try to send an email with an XML file attachment, the program
(windows live mail) hangs and nothing gets to the outbox. I have to send it
with a computer running XP.

So, what's your question?

If you're looking for a workaround, zip the file before attaching it.

Ok. That is nice to know. When I park the car in the garage, I need to turn the car off so
the garage doesn't fill up with carbon monoxide.

Sorry, I thought the question was obvious. The question is "is there some
reason XML files can't be attached to emails - is it a known situation?". In
the meantime, thanks for your suggested workaround - I'll give it a try.

Is that all you can come up with? No wonder why Linux is too hard for you.

Just for fun I tried to send myself an e-mail with an XML file
attached. It attached easily, and when I got the e-mail I opened it
without incident in XML Notepad - well, one incident: XML Notepad asked
me if I would allow script executions (I declined).

My e-mail program is Thunderbird, which I used to send and to receive
the e-mail - so the test is incomplete.
