I have recently upgraded from Outlook 97 to XP and have noticed a difference in the way attachments are positioned in the email.
When sending an email using 97 the attachment appeared in the body of the message, at the bottom. Now in XP it appears in its own secion of the header.

How can I configure XP to attach attachments in the body of the message?

Format as HTML and choose insert picture. Or choose Plain text to have the icon inserted in the text.

I'm not sure what you mean.
Just to confuse matters I have spoken to some of my colleagues in the office and some of them find that attachments are included inthe boyd of the email as an icon and others find that the attachments appear as an icon in a separate section between the Subject and the Body of the message. There is no apparent difference between to the various installations of Outlook XP. We're all very confused.

This seems like Microsoft answer to previous complaints. If the attachment is inserted at the bottom, it is difficult to see especially when the window is minimized or if embedded in the body, it is easy to type over. Work out what is important.
