Attachment Id has bad format

When trying to send a file attachment using Hotmail, my partner ran into an issue.  She was reporting that the email would stop responding and closing the email would report "Attachment Id has bad format".  

Resolution:
The problem was due to the fact that the file name had spaces.  I renamed my attachment from  "my file.docx" to be "myfile.docx" and it was fine
