Outlook mail format changes using ActiveSync
I use Outlook 2002, ActiveSync 4.1 and a Windows Mobile 5 Phone Edition PDA.
The problem I have is that all my Outlook 2002 contacts are set up as "Let Outlook decide best sending format" for email. For me this means that my email attachments are sent with my mail. If I make a change to a contact on my WM5 device and then synchronise, this process changes the contact mail format on my PC to "Send using Outlook Rich Text Format" and in my case this means any attachment isn't received by the recipient. I change it back manually and the attachement goes through fine but after any further contact change using the WM5 device, the format is altered again and the attachment problem is back. Any advice out there as I have scoured the internet and found only one other similar question andthat has yet to be answered! Any help greatly appreciated. |

For me this means that my email attachments are sent with my mail. That's not what it means. The "Let Outlook decide..." setting means that Outlook will format an outgoing message in whatever format you've chosen with the Format menu or that you have configured as the default format on ToolsOptionsMail Format. It has nothing to do with whether or not attachments are sent.

This sounds like an issue with ActiveSync. Have you asked in news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...tpc.activesync ? -- Brian Tillman |

If it doesn't say "Let Outlook decide" then no mail attachments get sent. That was my point.

The attachments do get sent. The point, however, is that only another Outlook can read Rich Text attachments. Other mail clients, like Outlook Express, simply ignore the attachments. Send your messages in Plain Text or HTML format if you want your recipients to see your attachments. -- Brian Tillman |
