I'm looking to do an e-mail mail merge and I've
successfully added a background and an attachment to the
messages.

When test messages are sent they arrived on PC's using
Outlook OK, but on PC's using Outlook Express they're
unreadable. It just comes out as gobbledygook!! They
also don't receive the attachment.

Messages are sent in HTML and the OE PC receives in
HTML. I've tried the other formats too just in case.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mike.

Hi Mik
I am having trouble adding an attachment to a word email-merge. My test message arrives with an icon, but it cannot be opened. Can you help with this
