Message Not Delivered: Message content or attachment not supported

The message could not be delivered because it included content or attachments that the recipient's email provider cannot accept.

Fixes

If the message had attachments, try sending each attachment in a separate email. Often things like Calendar Invitations or Meeting Reminders can have formats that cause problems. See if you can make an adjustment and resend the message.

If this error persists, contact the email provider for help.
