OE 6 Attaches whole folder instead of file from folder!!
Are they all running Windows XP SP2?

Thanks for the reply! My other two computers are currently up to date
and they
still work the old way. Drag and drop works well but the person using
the
computer in question, is set in her ways and wants to continue to do
it the
old way!
Still searching for solution.

That's been a "feature" of OE for quite some time. I think at least
since SP2. You must have been very out-of-date.
The attach dialog will not follow shortcuts to folders.
The way around that is not to use the dialog. Instead open a Windows
File Explorer and navigate to the desired folder. Then drag-and-drop
the files into the message composition window.

The just started recently on one of my computers.
When you create mail and want to insert an attachment, the "Look
In"
window
opens normally. When you click on the folder to look in for a
specific
file,
OE
attaches the whole folder shortcut instead of opening the folder to
choose the
individual file you wish to attach. Worked fine initially but may
have
been
changed
by an automatic update. Did a system restore which corrected in
once
but last
restore did not correct. IT'S BACK!! Any suggestions appreciated!!
And yes, I'm a newbie and yes it was me that posted this same
problem
in the
OUTLOOK group! Apologies to the OUTLOOK Gang. My Bad!
