Stripped attachments

attachments from a specific computer email address (XP using Outlook) into
another computer using windows mail (vista) are stripped. Same attachment

Check that the version of Outlook is NOT sending using the default format of

Yes it does, but the more likely cause when an Outlook user sends to a
non-Outlook user is the use of RTF email - the Outlook default.
