I have three computers in my home. On my first computer, I'm running
Microsoft Outlook for email. On my other two comptuters, I'm running Outlook
Express for email. I recently sent an email with three Excel file
attachments from my Microsoft Outlook computer to my other two computers
running Outlook Express. The attachements only came through on one of my
Outlook Express computers. The two Outook Express computers are configured
exactly the same, as far as I can tell, and I did extensive research to try
and troubleshoot the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...

Did the message come through to both OE machines, minus the attachments on
one of them?
Or did you only get the message + attachments on one machine?

Do you have OE configured to leave messages on the server on all machines,
OEtoolsaccountpropertiesadvanced tab, set it to delete messages after a
reasonable number of days.

If you do the above then you will get all mail to each machine.

Help may be possible, but ... "estensive research" says nothing about what
you've tried so far. And since I don't believe in wasting time seeing "I
tried that" as many others will also, ... .

Thanks for the response. The body of the message came through on both
machines but the attachments only came through on one. Another note, the
email addresses for each OE machine are unique. So, I was sending the same
message with attachments to each machine's unique email address. One machine
received the message with attachments and the other received the message
without attchments. Thank you...

If messages are sent using the Exchange family of mail programs
(includes Windows Messaging or Outlook97/98/2000+) and the option to use
Rich Text Format is selected, it puts the RTF message (and any attached
files) in an attachment called WINMAIL.DAT (application/ms-tnef). But
this attachment is useless to most other mail programs. In some mail
programs (e.g. Outlook Express), the attachment won't even be visible.

The Exchange user can turn off the RTF option for messages to selected
recipients. Note that if sending via an Exchange server, the Exchange
server administrator may be overriding the mail client settings. In
this case, the administrator will need to make changes on the server.
In some cases, the Exchange server actually removes the attachments to
some recipients.

For additional information, see the MS-TNEF WINMAIL.DAT Attachments
section of
Decoding Internet Attachments - A Tutorial
http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_san...de.htm#ms-tnef
At the above link is information on several utilities that can be used
to recover the attachment if the sender can't or won't resend it in
plain text mode.
