Not receiving attachments
...One of the Outlook Express users
never receives attachments from me. Only use Plain Text format when sending to this recipient, especially if there's an attachment. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Client - since 2002 www.banthecheck.com mikelee101 wrote: Hello, I'm seeing an issue that confuses me, and was hoping someone could give me a suggestion or two. We use POP3 email at our office. Some users run Outlook while others use Outlook Express. I am running Outlook 07. One of the Outlook Express users never receives attachments from me. The message comes through just fine, but no attachment. There is no .dat file or .txt file or any notice that an attachment has been stripped, it's as if the attachment never existed. Other OE users in the office receive attachments from me just fine. Not being that familiar with OE, I was hoping someone might know if there's a security setting somewhere about downloading attachments. I did see the option about not opening attachments that could potentially be a virus, but the users who do receive attachments from me have that checked, so it wouldn't seem that could be it. (I didn't see anything in the security settings on our mail platform that looked like it could be the culprit.) All of our OE users are running OE6, XPPro. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

Not receiving attachments
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, Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail), 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.
