Q: Recently my wife got a new laptop at work, and the IT guy talked her into using Outlook instead of Outlook Express (“It makes so much more for you, youll love it !”) . There is a learning curve and a puzzle before, and now here is a new one.
She have a digital camera for Christmas, and has been making good progress in learning to use it. She has sent. Jpgs many times using Outlook Express, but they are annexed, and open on the other side fine. But now she does it with Outlook, and getting strange results – sometimes it seems that Outlook e-mail with the attached jpgs, followed by separate e-mails, one for each jpg, but one. DAT file, which sends not open, of course. These emails have virus detection reactions activated from the e-mail system to the college our daughter lives. When we tested here by sending her laptop to my email account that extra. DAT e-mails are generally self-dumping in the Deleted Items folder in my Outlook Express (I have no interest in switching to Outlook), without even stopping at the Inbox 0.
This morning when I 2 + 2 together and asked whether it was the Outlook do, and ran a set of equations – the same set of 5 JPG files sent from OE went fine, but bombarded with Outlook as I described above.
Anyone?
Re:No, this is going directly out to our ISP. she has an account on the mail server there, and I do, so it should be a simple test situation
Re:Is her Outlook connecting to an Exchange server? Her office may have a security policy in place that prevents JPG attachments.
Re:I click the Attach button in OE, which in Outlook seems to be called Insert. Then select the jpg and click the OK button and it attaches.
I just went to her laptop and tried drag and drop. Never knew about that before.
Re:Do you attach them or just drop them into the message area? They need to be attached. I've sent literally hundreds of .jpgs using both outlook and oe and have never run into this…
