Hi Chris,

We too have this problem. I know about the solution to only send as Plain
text, but this never was a problem in Outlook 2000 (I presume this is
Outlook 2003)

Does not seem like progress to me if we previously used Rich Text in 2000
and now have to downgrade to Plain text in 2003....Or what ?

Regards,
Jorgen

To answer myself, I find this to be a problem regardless of the format you
send, but it ONLY applies to files attached via the menu. If you drag'n drop
or righ mouse button/send it all works. Bug?
