When I record a voice file as an .mp3 file and attach it to an Email
the person receiving the attachment sees the file name as UNTITLED.BIN.
If they leave a copy on the server and then access the server without
using Outlook the file name remains voice.mp3.
If the file "UNTITLED.BIN" is renamed back to "VOICE.MP3" it gets
associated back to a media program and plays fine. To make the original
file we are using a software program called mp3 recorder and using the
PC's sound card and microphone. Using the .mp3 format rather than the
..wav cuts way down on file size and transfer time so we would like to
be able to use both the mp3 recorder and outlook. Can anyone help me
find a way to stop outlook from changing the file name?? Once I attach
a file I don't want outlook(receiving end) to change its name. It
appears that if Outlook can't recognize the file type it changes it's
name to UNTITLED.BIN.
