[AccessD] Outlook Replies strip off attachments

There has to be something different because I do this all the time with no problem. In fact, I just sent one to a client. Now, for the record, I have Outlook 2000 SR1 9.0.0.4527 Internet Mail Only - Security Update.

Frequently, I correspond with clients and in the end, I have to send them an attachement. If I made a "new" message, which I then would need to move from the Sent folder and move to the [client's name] folder. Instead, from the client name folder, I will just "reply" to one of the messages in that folder, and add the attachment and send it on. I've never had anyone say they didn't get the attachment.

If you want to test, send me something off-list, and I'll send you a small attachement to see if you can get it. If you do, then we can start comparing what might be different (off list so we don't clutter AccessD - we can always post conclusion later).
