Regular attachment vs outbind

[Martin A. Smith]

We have received notice that someone we email attachments to is having trouble
opening our attached pdf file.

They said we should attach them as regular attachments rather than outbind's.

So, the questions are what is an outbind and how do I make the pdf attachments
regular rather than whatever they are?

We are using Outlook 2000.

Thanks.

When you send the attachments, how are you inserting them? As attachments
or as text?

It is not easy to add an internal hyperlink in an Outlook message. If you
create the message with the Insert | File method, Outlook adds
"outbind://32/" in front of the bookmark link, making it unusable. If you
use the File | Send | Page by Email method, Outlook adds a <BASE> tag to the
header, making all the internal hyperlinks point back to the original web
page, again making the link useless. Using Word seems reliable, though.
Either start with a Word document, then use File | Send To | Mail Recipient,
or, in Outlook 2002, just use WordMail to create the HTML message directly.

We start with the new message button and then drag and drop the pdf file into the
message. I would consider that an attachment. It also appears under a divider
bar in the message, again making me think it is an attachment.

Thanks.
