I'm a converted PC to Mac user and was unable to find how to turn off embedding attachments into the body of the email. Is this possible?

Hi,

just to be clear: are you talking about composing new messages? How do you
insert the attachments? Do you drag them into the document window? If your
e-mail is in HTML format, Entourage will automatically try to insert them
into the text body. In that case, you can try the following:

* use the command Message>Add Attachments.
* click on the Add button in the Attachments section.
* when dragging, make sure you drag the files onto the Attachments section
* use plain text; Entourage will automatically add the attachments instead
of embedding them.

PDF's are still embedded in plain text. It must be a Leopard issue I guess. Word docs were just attached and not embedded. I send docs to PC users and wanted them just to be attached and not embedded in text.

Thanks.
