I create a windows file and save it as xxxx.doc. When I try to send it to a friend by attaching it to an e-mail I get a message of prohibited to send (may not be exact words) and the file is reduced to 2k with a suffix .lnk. Also happens in Google I think.

Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.

If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, let us know and we can move this thread to the Thunderbird queue. This question currently is in the Firefox queue for answers.
