I have a client who is trying to send me attachments (images, etc.). My
Outlook 2003 shows that the message has an attachment but there is no
attachment and no error messages. She sends the same attachments elsewhere
with no problem and I receive attachments from elsewhere with no problem. We
are both using PCs. She is using Outlook Express. Anyone have any ideas?

Please don't post the same question in different places.
 
I wouldn't except that I don't know which group would be the best for this
question. They both seemed appropriate. Sorry.

What is being suggested (incompletely) is that you CROSSPOST
no "Multipost".

The former, Crossposting, involves sending to multiple newsgroups
like you do when you send an email to multiple recipients -- the
main advantage is that anyone who answers it with a simple REPLY
will be sending the answer to everyplace you posted it and all who
assist you will be able to read and reply from any of those groups.

When you multipost the same or similar message then you fragment
the responses and dilute the value of any assistance.

BTW, I am not an expert on your problem but the chances are that
some email server is removing or altering the attachments.

OE itself will also do this if the attachment violates it's idea of
what is safe.
 
I tried to crosspost originally but for some still unknown reason my OE sent
the posting into oblivion. I certainly understand the reasoning you outline,
agree with it and planned to post any answers I received (that worked) on
the "other" group.
