Just to add to that, if one of the original recipients forwards the email to themselves, they DON'T see the attachment. If they forward it to someone else then that someone DOES see the attachments.
From: Oliver Marshall Sent: 17 August 2011 10:42 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Outlook, forwarding and the missing attachments I've got a machine here that has an odd issue. Emails from a certain group of senders (all users at the same client firm) are showing in Outlook 2007 as having no attachments, despite them actually having attachments. There's nothing to show that there are any attachments included, no paperclips anywhere, no bar at the top of the email saying that attachments were blocked. However if you forward the email using the Forward button, the recipient of that forwarded email CAN see the attachments. To make it stranger, if you add the original email as an attachment to another email, that attached email shows no attachments itself, despite having attachments.....does that make sense? I'm guessing that the orginal sender has some odd querky set up which is using a malformed MIME header or something odd, and Outlook doesn't handle it. When you forward it, Outlook changes the MIME headers to something that makes sense and you can then see the attachments. The question is, is it possible to handle it?
