Start Outlook 2003 and select Tools Options Preferences tab Email

Hello,
My wife and I both use Outlook 2003. When I send her an e-mail that
something embedded, such as a smiley face, a background color, or a
selected stationery as a background, it ends up as an attachment. We are
both set to composing and receiving e-mails in HTML. Mine works fine.

Any ideas why this is occurring?

Thanks much.

Bill
