OL2001: Messages with Modified Attachments Are Not Sent to All Recipients (313427)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Outlook 2001 for Mac
This article was previously published under Q313427 SYMPTOMS
If you use Outlook 2001 for Mac to send a message that includes an attachment that was modified directly in the message itself and saved (in other words, the attachment was not first saved to disk and then re-inserted), the message may not reach the intended Internet Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) recipients and the attachment may be missing.
CAUSE
This problem can occur because the Macintosh file type and creator are set incorrectly when an attachment is modified directly inside a message.
