[AccessD] Outlook Replies strip off attachments

Sorry, misunderstood.  I thought you were talking about replying to a message that already had an attachment and keeping that attachment.  I agree, you should be able to attach a file to a reply.  I do that all the time as well.  Could it be a file size issue?  I know at work here they have put a limitation on the size a file can be as an attachment, something less than 1MB (not exactly sure what the size limit is).  Can be annoying at times.

Could the recipient have size limitations on their end?

I'm not talking about "keeping attachments".  You send me any message.  I
reply, attaching a file.  You don't get the file.

Why should I have to create a brand new message in order to get the file
that I attach to the message to stay put?

The thing is, I always just reply to your message.  Saves me having to get
your address, create a brand new message etc.

I have never seen Outlook keep attachments on a reply.  If I have wanted to
keep attachments, I have had to use the forward option, which then you have
to reenter the to: line.  Not the best way, but it has worked.  If you find
the "magic" option switch for this, I would surely be interested in your
findings.

Well, the thin is I can send attachments as well.  Just can't reply to an
email and get them to go.  I tested by building a brand new record to my
wife and sent an email with attachments.  She got it and the attachments.

I have SR-1 for Office/Outlook and I can send attachments fine, I bet it's
the newer draconian measures in SP3 that are blocking your
attachments...short of a system reinstall I don't know how you would
uninstall SP3.

: You are using 2 pieces of software I hate the most, In Order, Outlook and

: another A/V software and see if that makes your problems go away... plus
: what SP do you have installed on Outlook?
