Attaching PDF to Email - Formatting Issue

[BHEMLLC]

Please HELP...

Typically when I send an email from my outlook, the message content is
controlled/corrected by the formatting tools built in to outlook (i.e. when I
type the first name in all lower case, it will automatically change the first
letter to an uppercase. Also, the spell check is active, etc. etc. etc.). But
when I am viewing a PDF in Adobe Reader and want to send it in an email, I
select: File - Attach in Email. Then the email screen that comes up does not
have the standard formatting corrections like in a regular email from
outlook.

I know this is a bit tedious but seriously - I have been trying to fix for
sometime and its extremely nerve racking. PLEASE HELP if anyone knows a
solution.

This is correct. The calling interface for the Send function from within
other programs is not the same as the calling interface that Outlook itself
uses and not all of the message composition defaults (like signatures) can
be chosen when the window opens. I don't believe there's any "fix" because
that's simply the way it works.

The workaround would be to reverse the process -- create the message and then
attach the PDF file.
