asked on

attachments problem (macOS X related)

hello, Experts!
the scenario is simple:

1) I send a mail with an attach from an  I-Mac (os X) with  Eudora 6.3  (AppleDouble-MIME encoded)
2) the attach is received and visualized correctly with a PC using eudora (every version) or via webmail
3) BUT... the attachment is "hidden" for the SAME PC  using outlook 2000 as mail client!

in fact here  neither appears the "paper clip" that denotes the presence of the attachment nor the "miniature" of the attachment type (I.E. the pdf, the zip miniatures, etc...).

I've said that the attachment is "hidden", not absent...!!! :=))

If I select the mail sent, than I choose File -> Save Attachments, it "mysteriously" re-appared and I can save it on my PC!!!

so the question is: why this strange behavior in outlook 2000? may I hack some preferences, some registy keys for making at least the "paper clip" appearing for the attachments sent with mac-eudora?

thanks in advance for yr reply,

fabianope

fabianope,

Outlook 2000 is way outdated and may not support the AppleDouble-MIME encoding.
