Hello,

Every time I try to send a .mht-file (webpage saved by Internet
Explorer) as a 'included file' (don't remember the English word) with
a e-mail by Outlook Express, Avast Home Ed. gives following error:

Suspect extension of 'Included file'.
* (file name).mht
Content type does not match the extension of the Included file
* (file name).mht - message/rfc822

I don't believe this and suppose this to be a false positive but
cannot be sure. Avast does not give support for Home version except
via useless forum.

Can anyone give usefull comment?

Thanks,

Massimo
