Mail Recipient (as attachment) breaks Spell Check in Outlook
 

Hi everyone, I have an interesting problem that a client complained to
me about:

He's working in a MS Word 2003 document. He goes to File Send to
Mail Recipient (as attachment).

Outlook 2003 is his default client, so a new email window opens and has
the file as an attachment. However, when he writes his message in the
email body, it does not automatically check spelling and red underline
misspelled words. Normally, it works, but in this one situation, it
does not.


Has anyone seen this before? Thanks for your help in advance!

I see the same behavior.

Using Send To--Mail Recipient (as attachment) creates a new email with
Plain Text as the message format, even when Word is configured as the
default editor.

I understand...the message format gets thrown off due to attaching a
file via Word. Has anyone found a way around this?

Also, just to add, only the red underlines highlighting spelling errors
no longer appear. Manually choosing to start spell check still works
properly.
