Opening attachments in Outlook 2003

[Peter Mount]

Hello

I've forwarded emails to a client who uses Outlook 2003. He says he
can't open the attachments I send to him, in this case the multiple
emails I forward to him in one email.

I am sending them with Mozilla Thunderbird and he is receiving them with
MS Outlook 2003.

Can he change some security setting or is there a program he he can
download to let MS Outlook 2003 see the attachments. I remember using
such a program when I was still using MS Outlook 2000 so I could see exe
files.

Thanks

Peter Mount

That's because Thunderbird uses *.eml files, and Outlook only uses *.msg
files AFAIK.
Save all the emails you want to send as text files (*.txt) and send them
that way.

eml-files can also be opened in Outlook Express or in a text-editor.
Binaries of course show up "funny".
