XP Updates sometimes mess around with attachments in Outlook/Express. They 
are considered to be a potential security threat, so updates disabled them 
by default.

Maybe your friend hasn't realised this and has not set his emailer to allow 
attachments. (Via Tools or Options). Or maybe the particular type of 
attachment you are sending is one which is deemed insecure and is being 
blocked by his firewall, antispyware, or antivirus.
