How do I stop receiving background pics as attachments in Outlook.
One of my clients receives emails with the stationary or background as
attachments. He is set up to receive emails in HTML format and I was wondering if there is anything else I should try. I have searched Outlooks site but can't find the answer to this particular problem. We are running WINXP with SP2 and Office XP. I would really appreciate any help you can give me. |

You might want to see if the following registry key was implemented on the
problematic workstation. http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/plain_text.htm /neo ps - it levels html messages to plain text "Merolyn" wrote in message ...

Thank you very much for responding so quickly. I checked the registry and
there was no addition of the DWORD value mentioned in the article. I forgot to say that this is a brand new computer that I formatted and installed everything onto, so there wouldn't have been anything added by others. I would appreciate any other ideas.

Did the message originate from an exchange server?

No - it was sent from an interoffice computer and others received the message
okay. Also, he said that he has received some emails from the same source and they were in html format. So I can't figure why they would be okay sometimes and not others.

okay let me try to reword, did the message pass thru an exchange server.
The reason that I ask is that older versions of Exchange (e.g. Exchange 5.5) could do some interesting things with HTML messages when working with just the POP3/IMAP/SMTP protocols. The reason for this is that Exchange 5.5 didn't have a clear understanding of MHTML and would generally not tag the attachments with a content id when encoding a message for transport. Is it possible for this happen under other servers... sure. Which, I don't know. In any event, there really isn't enough information to state whether it is an Outlook problem or there is something in the message that is causing Outlook to show the item as plain text/rich text vs. html.

No we do not use an Exchange Server but I am not sure if our Email Service
Provider does or not. I will check but meantime, if they do , then this is probably something he will have to put up with. I'm still not sure why it would only do it on his computer. I have checked the settings and they are the same as everyone elses. Thanks again for responding and I will keep trying.
