Having filenames of attachments show up in the body of an email

[brandonfick]

In our office we are always sending out emails with large
attachments. Once we send the email, we remove the attachment from
our "sent copy" and move the attachment-less email to the public
folders for everyone to see. We would like for the filenames of the
attachments to be automatically written at the bottom of the email
body so that we can remove the attachment ans still know what was
attached.

I've seen the format <<filename.ext>> at the end of emails that we
receive, and since the format is consistent this must be an automated
process. I would like to know how to activate this for all our
emails.

We use Outlook 2003 and Windows XP Professional.

Unless you buy something, or write code to do it (or find code for it from
http://www.outlookcode.com/), Outlook can't do it automatically. See this:
