Sending from another office product

[Guest]

Also posted in Excel forum. Perhaps this is the right place...

When I prepare to send and email from excel i use:
"File, Send To - mail recipient(As Attachment)". I get the following:

1) Auto-signature does not come up as it does on other emails.
- I'd like to see auto sig working
2) text that was copied from another email gets pasted in double-spaced.
- would like this not to occur
3) if I save this message, it saves in my Inbox, not in my Drafts folder.
- would like it to save in drafts folder

Hope someone has some ideas on to prevent this from happening.

Thanks,

This sounds perfectly normal. That Send To command doesn't go through Outlook the same way as a normal mail message. It uses Simple MAPI. If you want all the Outlook bells and whistles, create an Outlook message, then attach your file.

OK, I follow that logic. But here's the thing - sometimes it does work,
sometimes it doesn't. Seems it works with older documents more than newer
ones.
