Hello Sandy,
it sounds like the error message says it all. An AxCrypt file, when encrypted, will have a file name ending with “.axx”. Apparently the file you sent, or that the person received, does not have this ending – indicating that either it was not an encrypted file that was sent, or the sender or the receiver renamed the file to end with something else.
