When attempting to send Outlook with an attachment to a specific list of addressees at the first SEND command the mesage sent has no attachment but the body of the message is filled with letters and numbers in no recognisable format. Immediately pressing SEND again the message is sent normally. This problem does not occur with any other send action.

I'm not really sure what the question here is. If it sends fine, then I'm unsure of what the problem is. It also depends on what type of file you were attempting to send. If you could clarify some of this it'd help.

The question is 'why does the first SEND dispatch an outlook message full of unintelligible characters and no attachment, while the second attempt sends the message and attachment ok'

Try: Help--Detect and Repair--follow the wizard. If you are missing any files, it will ask for the CD.

If that doesn't work, delete/recreate the account (be sure to save the outlook.pst file and reinsert it into the newly made account).

If all else fails, uninstall/reinstall Office (don't forget the outlook.pst file).
