 Outlook 2007 attachment problem?
Currently in Outlook 2007...for some reason every time that I send out an email with attachment instead shown in the attachment bar it shows the attachment icon in the top left hand corner. I already did trouble shooting procedures but I'm unable to fix it. Is there a setting that I'm not able to see? Please I need to some type of response for this issue. Thanks.

Answer Wiki:
This could happen if the text format of the message is set to "rich text". To change the format of a specific message, go to "Options", and in the format frame, select "Html" (or any other format except "rich text"). To change the default format for all messages, go to "Tools"->"Options"->"Mail format", and select the desired format in the message format list box. Hope this helps. ************ It also could be your antivirus. Are these attachments which you have previously sent successfully? If it is not your antivirus, some attachments are blocked by default. Here is a list. You can also unblock them in the registry, just take this step with great caution.

i have the same problem except the attached document is held in the body of the document rather than in the usual spot below the subject line.

Had a similar problem – could send and receive e-mail OK, but when sending attachments they were blocked. Answer was for some unknown reason our address was flagged as a home address (spam), I went to spamhaus and was able to get it back to normal quickly..
