Emailing attachments in Outlook

#1 March 27th, 2005, 05:48 PM

Does anyone else out there have difficulties emailing attachments within
Outlook to others only to find that they receive the email but not the
attachment?

If messages are sent using the Exchange family of mail programs (includes Windows
Messaging or Outlook97/98/2000+) and the option to use Rich Text Format is selected, it
puts the RTF message (and any attached files) in an attachment called WINMAIL.DAT
(application/ms-tnef). But this attachment is useless to most other mail programs. In
some mail programs (e.g. Outlook Express), the attachment won't even be visible.

The Exchange user can turn off the RTF option for messages to selected recipients. Note
that if sending via an Exchange server, the Exchange server administrator may be
overriding the mail client settings. In this case, the administrator will need to make
changes on the server. In some cases, the Exchange server actually removes the
attachments to some recipients.

For additional information, see the MS-TNEF WINMAIL.DAT Attachments section of
