MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / June 2005Sent distribution list shows up as a mail message
I have created several distribution lists in Outlook 2003. Up until a few weeks ago I was able to attach them to a new message and send to someone in my company (on same email server). The attachments would show up as distribution lists that they could open and copy to their own Contacts. I am still able to attach the lists and send the message, but when the recipient gets the it the attachments ents look like mail messages. When they go to open them, they open as blank mail messages. After checking my Sent Items, I see that the message went out with the correct attachment format. The recipient is also using Outlook 2003. Make sure you insert them as an Outlook Item. Make sure your message format is RTF.  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >I have created several distribution lists in Outlook 2003.

I had been inserting the lists as Outlook items, but I tried the RTF (and Plain Text) without success. They appear to insert just fine (as lists), but when received, they should up as mail items. > Make sure you insert them as an Outlook Item. > Make sure your message format is RTF.

Plain text will not work. Make sure your recipient isn't set to receive plain text only.

The only other cause for this I've seen is with some mail servers that alter the attachment. Do you have another account you can try?
