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

Start Outlook 2003 and select Tools Options Preferences tab Email
Options button. Check to see if the read all standard e-mail as plain text
checkbox is unchecked.

Are you testing this by just you sending her a message? If yes and her
e-mail address is in your contacts folder, I would check to ensure it isn't
marked to receive plain text only. You do this by opening the contact
record and then double click on the e-mail address.

That was it. Thank you very very much. I can't tell you how much time I
spent going through her setup and never thinking about looking at mine!
