Unable to send .OFT files

Hey everyone,
 I'm hoping someone can help me with an issue I am having.

Basic info:
Server 2003
Outlook 2007
Workstation OS: XP pro V2002 SP 3

Issue:
I have a user that has created a template in outlook and has saved it as a .OFT file. The file is saved in a shared folder on our FP01 server where everyone can access it. The problem arises whenever the user tries to email the file. Whether you "drag and drop" or insert it as an attachement, the e-mails disappear. The emails do not appear in the sent folder, outbox and are never recieved by anyone. I have verified the settings for the mail to be delivered to the sent folder and they are correct.

Also,
When you try to open the .OFT file from the shared folder, you recieve the following message.
