MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / March 2008Outgoing email attachments getting set to Read-only
Office and Outlook 2003, SP3 We have an issue where our outgoing Office attachments get set to Read-only when Word is set as the email editor. Has anyone ever seen this? Thank you PS, this happens when the file is opened from an open email. And not from simply opening the attachment from the Reading Pane. thanks again Sue > Office and Outlook 2003, SP3 > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Thank you > PS, this happens when the file is opened from an open email.

SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Well you know that and I know that, but our users and attorneys want to know why this is happening. And the recipients want to know why we send them Read-only files. When in fact, that is not our intent. Do you know of a setting in Word or Outlook that may be triggering that? > > PS, this happens when the file is opened from an open email.

A few seconds with Google indicates that if you open the attachment from the Reading Pane, it will be read-only but of you open the message first, it will not. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] My 2nd post indicated that the emails are not opened from the reading pane, rather from opening the email message first. I've definitley gone through Google and the MS support site. I thought someone here may have some thoughts on the issue. I will check for macros. > > Well you know that and I know that, but our users and attorneys want > > to know why this is happening.
