MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / March 2008Attachments now you see them
Why are attachments sometime visible on the preview pane header bar, but sometimes I have to open the mail to see the filename to click on? I have no idea how many I may have missed because of this.

How would I know? SignatureJim S Tyneside UK http://www.jimscott.co.uk At the very top of your open message (above the menu bar) the subject line of your message will show, along with they type of message (HTML, RTF, etc). However, I use the "Paperclip" as a signal that there is an attachment in my message. If you are in the default view for your messages in Outlook, to the left of the subject:: (paper clip) icon = If a paperclip shows next to the message then an attachment is present. Microsoft has a page that explains this with a few pictures: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA012319531033.aspx Nikki Peterson > "Diane Poremsky {MVP}" <outlookmvp@msn.net> wrote in news:A8B249F8-02C3- > 46AD-837A-77E3788B500C@microsoft.com: > >> are the messages html, plain text or RTF? > > How would I know?

Thanks. It seems as if the attachments don't show up on the 'bar' if the mail is in Plain Text. I'll have to get used to the paperclip (or go back to Thunderbird) SignatureJim S Tyneside UK http://www.jimscott.co.uk to the best of my recollection, they should be on the preview pane header in all versions of outlook regardless of the message format, but if they are only missing with one format it sometimes points to the cause. I'll have to load a copy of outlook 2002 and double check the behavior.
