In Outlook 2003, I create an rtf e-mail, and insert item from my Contacts
file -- specifically, the DL. Double-click on the icon to confirm that it
is, indeed, the DL. It is. Send it.

In Outlook 2007, open the e-mail. Click on the attachment. It is a blank
e-mail. There is no data.

Outlook 2003 uses Microsoft Exchange.

Outlook 2007 uses POP/SMTP.

I hope this is the information you're looking for.

I've tried this a number of ways, and have sent the message in RTF format
with items inserted as DL icons. At the 2003 end, the attachment opens up
into a complete DL. On the receiving 2007 end, the attachment is a blank
e-mail. No DL. No content. Any thoughts?

Can I ask you to go through this step by step, pls?

I've opened the e-mail, and can do Save Attachments, but I'm not sure
where
to place them. I'm not terrifically up-to-speed on how Outlook 2007
works
quite yet.

Sorry about the blank post - just getting used to posting.

I created a number of Dist Lists in Outlook 2007 at home, and sent
them,
successfully, to my Outlook 2003 account at work to be modified.
Now
that
they're modified, I want to send them back to my Outlook 2007
account.

Inserting the file merely creates attachments of blank e-mails on
the
2007
end. I can send the files in rtf format, but now want to make them
into
Outlook 2007 Dist Lists. Can't seem to import them. What do you
recommend?

The procedure works for everyone else. In what information store does this
DL reside? What is your answer about AV software?

No AV that I'm aware of. Just straightforward e-mail. No scanning.

Out of ideas. Can't repro the problem nor have I seen it reported.
Your recipients aren't set to receive in plain text only, are they?

No - recipient (me, at home) has e-mail coming in in rtf.

I guess I'll just have to recreate them. Bummer! Thanks for your help.
