Outlook attachements not showing in OutlookExpress

[Stijn]

Hello,
On one of our computers when I send a mail with attachement to a
OutlookExpress client, I can't see the attachement. The size of the mail
indicates that the attachement is sent but you can't see it. When I sent a
message in plain text I can see the attachement but not when I use the RTF of
HTML.
We are using Outlook 2002 SP3.
Thanks in advance

Never use RTF to send messages to Outlook Express or any other email client
but Outlook. All other email clients will either get no attachment at all,
or they'll get an attachment named Winmail.dat which they can't open. Use
either Plain Text or HTML:
