What would happen if the person using OL2K does not connect to an exchange
server? If there is no Exchange server, would the attachment get attached?
Could this cause attachments to just be dropped (which is the problem I have
having - attachments sent from OL2K are SOMETIMES not showing up when read
by web client)?

Actually, according to Microsoft, the server is responsible for figuring out
that the file Microsoft attaches isn't really an attached file. Microsoft
doesn't even (yet) care about other servers handling the file, they say that
only Exchange servers can handle it. Since they made up the protocol, it's
likely other servers won't even attempt to touch it.
Microsoft specifically sends it as an attachment. According to my
interpretation of the RFCs, that's how clients *should* handle it: as an
attachment.
