I’m not sure why we can’t figure this out, but I need a question answered. I’ve looked all through the Options in Outlook and I don’t see a way to do this.
In our Outlook, when you attach a file to an email, it shows that file in the body of the email. I want to be able to attach it so that it shows it as an additional line up top - i.e. right under the subject line.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!
Seems to be that if you send it as Plain Text, it shows up as a line under the subject, and if you send it as Rich Text, it shows as an icon in the body of the text.
I wouldn’t worry about it.
The indication that an attachment is present is controlled by the receiver’s email client. The way Outlook is showing it to you is not necessarily how it will look on the receiver’s end. Some email programs let you specify how you want this, but it’s under their control, not yours.
Thank you! My boss asked me to figure this out, and it has been driving me INSANE.
HTML also puts the attachments separate rather than inline.
Yep - once I played around with it, I saw that - I’m not sure why our Outlooks are all set up for Rich Text format, but now she knows how to do it (and so do I!).
And different versions of Outlook do it differently. When we upgraded to 2003 from 2000 here at my office, there was a change in the way attachments were displayed in e-mail messages. 2000 (using plain text) put them in a box at the bottom of the message with a good sized icon. 2003 (still using plain text) places them in a box under the distribution list with a smaller icon.
