We have outlook 2002 SP3 and are using Windows XP Pro SP2. When I send an email to my boss, he gets the email with the text but also gets the text as a notepad attachment. The information is transmitted internally via a unix file server. Can anyone please tell me why this happens and how to stop the attachment? TIA --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
