If you'll go to HELP while in Outlook (without any messages "expanded", then "contents and index", search for "attachments" and pick "HTML", it'll tell you that if you have chosen HTML then your messages are sent as plain text with an HTML attachment. Since the mail server is fixed to strip out HTML (as a virus and obnoxious image filter), so when the message gets to the list, there is an attachment, but it's empty. So to fix it, go under TOOLS, OPTIONS, SEND, and change MAIL SENDING FORMAT to PLAIN, rather than HTML. Sending messages in HTML allows you to send web content such as embedded images, cute little smiley faces, spinning propellers, and that sort of thing. Since I am "no fun", I don't have much use for it (it just makes the file size larger and more distracting IMHO). The truth about attachments is that last time I tried to eliminate absolutely all attachments, those folks who send HTML and some other formats stopped being able to post. So right now we're just operating under a 10K limit, which is smaller than most viruses that have been going around. Anybody that knows how to make "Mailman" strip them ALL without side effects would be my hero, since the people that host this particular list are compeletely unresponsive, and I've yet been able to find a way anywhere else on the web. If I'm wrong about any of this, more savvy Outlook Express users are welcome to correct me. I don't claim to be an expert, I just do the best I can. By the way, Bobby Muse's plane is the best looking KR that I've personally seen, although I haven't seen it for a few years. The interior is spectacularly detailed.
