Edit outgoing attachment without saving it

[AElegre]

Apparently in Outlook 2000 users could attach a TIF file, open it, annotate
it, save the changes to the document right in the e-mail and send it along.
When they try that in Outlook 2003/2007 they're prompted to save the file to
a location on the hard disk which forces them to re-attach the edited
document and then send it along.

These files are temporary in nature and really only need to exist in e-mail
so saving them to the local machine is a needless step.

Is there any way to get back to the 2000 behavior?

Same process as previous versions of Outlook;
Open the message first and then open the attachment. Modify it, press Save
and then close the message. Changes to the attachment are now stored in the
message.

I guess i should have elaborated more, this does work with .DOC and .XLS
files but TIF files opened and annotated with Windows Picture & Fax viewer do
not.

I guess I answered my own question then - this is a limitaion of Windows
Picture & Fax Viewer and not Office....
