Outlook 2000 - 2003 is having problem with the Fax Transport.

1.)When attepmting to send a fax, on the 2003 client, a delivery failure is
recieved immediatley with "The Microsoft Fax transport failed to deliver the
message to the recipient. Not all attachments can be rendered."
The attachment is a PDF and the user is using a Vcard.

2.) When attepmting to send a fax, on the 2000 client, it hangs in the
outbox. Attachment is a Word document and no signature is used.

Environment is Server 2003 Standard, Exchange 2003, Windows XPP SP2.

Thanks in advance;

The error message gave you the answer.
Neither Outlook nor the Fax Service has any rendering capability. You must
use the print routine of the application in which the document was created.
Either print from that application to the fax printer or define a printto
verb for the document type at the OS level.

Dear Russ
1. I noticed that Word and Tif documents when sent as attachments and
even a message with no attavhments at all cannot be rendered to fax as
long as the message itself is html - one must convert to rtf in order
to enable sending a fax.
2. I upgraded the Acrobat reader from 6 to 7 and since then cannot
attach a pdf file to a fax message sent directly from Outlook 2003. It
can however be sent directly from the pdf file....
can you please help?
thanks
Ron

I do not see any questions here I have not answered. Please post your fax
software and what part of my answer you do not understand.

of course you are right - I use microsoft fax [winXP sp2 + outlook
2003].
i managed to operate the PDF by putting a "printto" verb into the file
types, however i still have the problem that a fax wont send from
outlook as long as it is defined as HTML rather than rtf.
i hope my question is clear now.
thanks
