What type of file are you trying to send, and what size is it? It's quite
possible that your setting for Tools/Accounts/Mail tab for the account
involved have a check box set on the Advanced tab that instructs that
messages over a certain size be broken apart is smaller segments.

You really don't give enough information to be helpful when trying to assist
you.

Several people have run into a problem where they get an attachment for
every letter in the file's full path name. I don't know that the cause
has been identified.

But a workaround is instead of using Insert, File Attachment, use the
Windows File Explorer to locate the file, then drag-and-drop it to the
open message composition window.
