If you open a read-only post item which also contains a file attachment in the Japanese version of Outlook 2000, you may receive the following error when you try to save the post as an .msg file:

The Outlook Attachment Security Is Bypassed If You Add a Period to a File Name

When you receive a message attachment that has a period added to the end of the file type information, the Outlook file attachment security features may fail.

Deleted Attachments Are Sent After They Are Removed from a Message

When you send an encrypted Rich Text Format (RTF) message with an attachment to a recipient that is not security enabled, you receive a prompt to cancel or send the message unencrypted. If you cancel the dialog box, delete the attachment, and send the message, the recipient receives the attachment as expected.

When you use a version of Microsoft Outlook that uses Inbox Assistant Rules (for example, Microsoft Outlook for Macintosh) to set up rules for your mailbox, and you upgrade the rules by accessing your mailbox from Outlook 2000, your rules are missing or you cannot edit them if you go back to the computer that is running the Inbox Assistance Rules.

You Cannot Open Messages That Are Sent to Contacts That Are Grouped by Category

MS-TNEF Encapsulation Included When Attachment Sent to Non-Exchange Recipient Listed in Global Address List

If you use Outlook 2000 to send an attached message to a contact that was copied from the Global Address List, the message exits in the Exchange Internet Mail Service encoded in a format that only Microsoft e-mail clients understand.
