Receiving attachments with Windows Mail

[purplegirl]

I am using Windows Mail. I have been receiving some attachments and been
able to open them without any problem, but when I try sending a Microsoft
Excel attachment to myself from Microsoft Outlook (A different computer) to
Windows Mail the received email is not showing that there is any attachment.
I have tried sending the same email to someone with Microsoft Outlook and
they could see the attachment.

Has anyone else had this problem?

If the mail was sent from Outlook using Outlook's RTF format then Outlook
Express will never find the attachment. Outlook Express does not understand
Outlook's RTF format. Ask the Outlook user to please use Plain Text,
especially when sending attachments.
