Re: Attachments Issue

Isn't there a property at the contact level for RTF vs HTML vs Plain Text?
I dont use outlook anymore so I cant check but if my aging memory serves
me, it is there someplace.

Okay, just did another series of tests. First test was the same as the
previously erroneous results; i.e., I used auto-selection to find my
name/email address. The attachment came out as winmail.dat.

In the second test I manually selected my address by clicking the "To..."
button to bring up the address selection panel. I switched to "My Contacts"
and selected my address. This resulted in the test PDF getting to my home
address in fine shape.

At least there's a work around, but any idea why this would be the case? I
use auto-selection every night to send out the sales reports (PDFs) and in
over two years using Outlook the only complains (two) were about not
receiving the email.

I've got a strange one; at least neither my boss nor I can figure it out.

I send out emails with attachments regularly (Outlook 2007) as part of

our

sales force reporting. So far no complaints about not getting the
attachment.

However, if I send an email with an attachment (PDF, xlsx, docx, txt,

etc.)

to my normal home email address (part of the Earthlink group), the
attachment is garbled and changed to winmail.dat. But, if I send the

same

email to my Gmail address, it comes through fine.

My boss and I figured, at first, that there was something on the

Earthlink

server that was the issue. It gets deeper, though. If I sign on to

Gmail

and forward the copy of the email with the attachment to my Earthlink
address, it and the attachment arrive perfectly. I checked the firewall
settings and could not see anything that would apply to these attachments
period, much less to just one domain.

I've noticed a similar effect if I try to email an attachment from my

home

Earthlink address to work; garbage at the receiving end. Have not yet

tried

emailing to Gmail and then forwarding that to work.
