Error when pasting .swf file as attachment into new email

A

Try the following:

-copy an .swf file to the clipboard
-open a new email, focus on the body
-press ctrl-v to paste the file as attachment

The result is a window with the title 'Microsoft Office Outlook' saying
'Word has encountered a problem' and a 'show help' button..
Pressing the button returns the following message:

" There is a problem saving the file.
Usually this is because the disk or floppy disk is too small for the file or
is full, RAM memory is low, or there is a permission problem with the drive
the file is being saved to.
If the amount of disk space for a paging file is low, save the file to
another drive. If the RAM memory is low, increase available RAM. If
permissions to the drive do not allow you to save to that drive, save the
file to another drive or request permissions from the administrator to save
files to the drive.
Note: This error can also occur if the computer is running a version of
antivirus software that is not compatible with the Microsoft Office system or
needs to be updated."


When dragging the attachment into the new email, the .swf file is added as
attachment as it should be.
When other filetypes are pasted from clipboard, they are added as attachment
normally also.

Could ths be a small bug?
