At the moment I'm stranded in the bad lands of Egypt, with no access to broadband or even a halfway decent dialup. So my girlfriend thought to keep me in the loop somewhat with postcards from SL, unfortunately my hotmail account seems to think that all the images contained within the aforementioned postcard contain an unknown virus and so for my safety is refusing to open them. is anyone else having these problems?

its quite annoying, so any ideas?? :confused:

The only time I tried to send a SL PC my client crashed.

looks like it might have been a hotmail problem, the postcard images display when the mail is first opened, it only when you try to download them that they screw up

Hi Azreal,

I know its a workaround, but if you tried another free email service besides Hotmail, it might work....

I have gmail invites just sitting in my account that I haven't given away yet. If you want one to open up a free gmail account, just send an email to me at [email]butteredtoast@gmailSPAM.com[/email] (remove the SPAM part). Put something in the message about SL forums so I don't gloss it over ;-)

Just be aware that if you send a postcard from SL it will give out your email address that SL has on file.
