Outlook problem

by howdidthathappen? . Updated 12 years, 3 months ago

Hi.

I am trying to find out if Outlook can attach files to an e-mail without the user actually knowing about it. Is there a way that the settings could prompt different versions of Outlook to attach a document?

My issue has occurred because I sent an e-mail from home (I use Outlook 2003) with a 2003 word attachment containing some notes and then when I created a new e-mail at work this attachment was sent but in another format. I had saved the word document in a folder at work in the meantime.

The e-mail I have in my sent items on my own PC is a word icon attachment (.doc) but the work e-mail shows three attachments, all in something called message format. I noticed that the file sizes were slightly lower than the word attachment. One of the attachments won’t even open and the other two contain the notes I made at home.

So can Outlook/software issues cause a mistake like this or is it simply down to a lack of concentration on my part?

Can anybody shed any light on this or provide links to help?

Thanks.
