I am currently using an Intel debit card issued by the Democratic Party. I was wondering if anyone could clarify what kind of transaction fees apply when using this card for retail purchases abroad—you know, at shops and similar establishments.
From what I have gathered—though I cannot be entirely certain—it seems that almost every ATM (with the exception of Chase, naturally) charges a fee starting at $3.50, which essentially works out to about 3% per transaction.

Your best bet is just to email customer service directly. That way, you'll get a definitive answer:

customer-service@chase.com

They should get back to you within 24 hours...

PS. If you had just emailed them when you first started this thread—which they moved anyway—you'd already have your answer sitting in your inbox... ☕

I learn something new every single day... 🙂

By the way, if your Synesis software is officially licensed, they actually offer free tech support for any issues you run into. It might be worth giving them a quick call or shooting them an email...

Some people get an email and there’s an attachment they just can't open... kill me now, I can't even remember what that file type is called... actually, Microsoft Outlook encrypted it... it's a winmail attachment or something like that...

It’s just a standard PDF I’m sending straight from my accounting software... No drag-and-drop or right-click sending involved...
When I save a PDF to my hard drive and use the "Send to > Mail Recipient" option, everything works fine—everyone gets the attachment along with my contact list. But when my accounting software, Synesis, tries to handle the email, it just falls apart...

I haven't had any issues with Synesis before, so I'm thinking there's just something wrong with my Microsoft Outlook settings...

When did you first notice all that? I mean, has Synesis ever actually sent you anything working through Microsoft Outlook 2007...

If it was working fine before, there's a good chance those Microsoft Office updates you're pulling online messed something up...

Maybe the change happened because Synesis was updated, assuming there even was an update... Honestly, I don't know much about that program...

Michelle Phillips34 said:I’m dealing with the exact same issue with my email, and I'm using an account through AT&T.

When I send attachments, the recipients don't get them at all... even if I switch from rich text to plain text.
I've read quite a bit about this on various forums, and it doesn't seem like an isolated case. Most of the time, this error happens when the recipient is using Outlook Express (that old version) instead of Microsoft Office. I even read somewhere that there might be a specific patch you should install via an update. (Good luck with that, by the way...)

In the end, I just gave up and installed Windows Live Mail from the Windows Live Essentials suite since I'm running Windows 7. It's basically just a slightly better version of Outlook Express, and everything works perfectly fine through it.

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread because I'd really love to see this problem solved.

Are they not getting the attachment at all, or are they getting it but can't open it?

Anyway, there are three ways to add an attachment to an email:

- clicking "attach file" within the email itself
- right-clicking the file and selecting "send to mail recipient"
- opening a new email and simply dragging and dropping the file inside..

Which method are you using?
Whether you're using AT&T or some other provider, it shouldn't matter...
I use Microsoft Outlook 2007, and my coworkers use Windows XP and receive every single attachment I send through standard Outlook.

shadowpilot8 said:Andrew Sullivan8, can we import Yahoo into Outlook now? I know it wasn't possible before...

I use Gmail and AOL with Microsoft Outlook 2007

so I don't see why Yahoo.com wouldn't work too. 🙂

PS. Assuming we're talking about Microsoft Office Outlook 2007... 😁

I’ve gone through this thread a couple of times now, but I’m still not entirely sure I follow everything... 😁

Anyway, since I don't know exactly how you've configured your account settings to give you a straight answer, try this instead:

Just set up a new Yahoo account within Microsoft Outlook. It should automatically pull everything from your Yahoo inbox over to Outlook for you.

I'm assuming everyone at your office has their own individual email address rather than everyone sharing one, like sales@enterprise.com...

ps. Send me a private message with the POP3 and mail protocol settings you've already tried out. You can just make up some dummy addresses—they don't have to be real—I just need to see exactly what you did so I can spot the error. I've been using Microsoft Outlook for years, so I know my way around it.

None of this looks great, and since I’m no lawyer, all I can say is I feel for you guys. You're caught in a mess through no fault of your own, but I'm sure you'll find a way to pull through...

Best of luck

I don't see why you'd kill a friendship if you're lending to someone you actually trust to pay you back 🤷

unless you'd rather just sit there watching a friend struggle to eat or something like that... 🤷

Everyone posting above and below you is sharing stories about lending money to friends they "know will pay them back" (because let's face it, nobody lends cash if they think it's gone for good), just so they don't have to watch a friend go hungry. ☕

No one is telling you that you can't be stingy with your cash if you want to be. 🤷

Why all the hostility toward him? He was just trying to help, and he picked up a few things along the way...

Anyway, my advice is to never lend money to friends. In most cases, it’s the quickest way to kill a friendship.

Paul Campbell3 said:Andrew Sullivan8, you actually got any cash on you?

I do. A little more than I really need. Though, "enough" is a subjective thing. To some people, it wouldn't be enough, and to others, it'd be way too much... ☕

Looks like most people missed the whole point of this thread...

The topic is about how people who already have massive wealth—money they could never actually spend (just look at those political scandals in the papers I mentioned earlier)—are willing to sacrifice moral values just to pile up even more money they'll never touch.

Edward Murphy4 said:Honestly, that question feels a little naive. We all know money buys basically everything—or at least most things—and everyone wants to live a comfortable life. 🤷 Let's face it: pretty much everything we do is driven by the almighty dollar. We grind through school just to land a better paycheck, we work ourselves to the bone for a salary... the whole world basically revolves around cash.

It’s not a dumb question.

What can you actually buy with $100 million that you couldn't with $20 million? What's driving someone to keep cheating, stealing, and exploiting others just to chase that extra $80 million?

If you read people's posts with a bit more empathy, you won't think they're stupid...

I’m posting this here in the spirituality section, too, since I’m not really sure where it fits best... 😉

"Every single day, you open the papers and see more scandals involving millions of dollars in fraud. It seems people will go to any lengths to get rich—stealing, killing, cheating, just committing any kind of crime imaginable...

What's interesting is that almost all these dishonest schemes are pulled off by people who don't actually need the money to survive. We aren't talking about someone on the brink of starvation or someone who can't afford basic clothes and is struggling to stay alive. It's usually the middle class or the wealthy elite—people who have plenty, but simply never have enough. So much for that idea that greed is driven by necessity...

Sometimes these folks have so much wealth that three generations of their descendants couldn't spend it all, yet they still pull dirty stunts just to stack up even more.

There's something deeply tragic about money, isn't there? How it manages to ruin so many lives..."

The biggest authority I have is that inner light guiding me... it always tells me exactly what needs to be done. Now, the fact that I can't always follow through perfectly? Well, that's a whole different story:W
