Re: Outlook and attachments, not OE

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi again,

I found the KB article that explains the registry tweak. It's at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;829982

Another suggestion that the article gives is to use a compression utility
(such as WinZip) and have the recipient unzip it after they receive the
email. Zip files go through fine in Outlook.
