I have noticed that when you attach a file to a email, it
attaches one of two ways. The first way is it embeds the
attachment into the body of the message. The other is
another line named "Attach..." is added under the BCC line
and has the name of the attached file in it. Is there a
way to switch between these two attaching styles?

Reason I am asking is I support a number of users, all
with Windows 2000 and Outlook 2000. Some attach files one
way, others the other way. I don't know if there is a
functionality difference between the two styles, but I
need all users on one style. Any help would be great.

There is no functional difference. The placement is determined by the message format -- RTF is inline.
