Two days ago all of attachments I receive from any sender show up as a zip file.

I used to receive items as a word doc or jpeg, etc.  Its a giant PIA to download a zip file to look at a collection of pics.

This isn't just one sender, it is all senders, and I seriously doubt most of the senders would even know how to "zip"

What has changed with msn.com?

 Now when I open an email with attachments, I can briefly see "loading blah, blah, blah," but it quickly disappears and I am

left to download the freakin zip file.  

What gives?

 

I have a 7.8 MB .zip file that I want to attach to an e-mail, but  when I attach it, MS Outlook (Mac 14.2.3) shows it to be 10.1 MB, putting it "over the allowable size limit". Where did the extra 2.1 MB come from, and is there any way I get my attachment file sizes to come across at actual size?

In trying to recover my e-mail account is difficult because it was way too many years ago that I opened it up and the country state and zip code I'm not sure where I opened the account, in the US or Mexico, also the secret question is not correct because it asks me for my grandfathers occupation and he's been dead for years, I always put a pets name or something easier, what else can I do to regain it back since I have all my business clients information in this account, call me if you can or I can call you and I will answer anything you ask me, I hate not speaking with someone.
