Has anybody encountered a problem where the attachment to an email dissapears and is replaced with something like this in the body of the message.

< filename.doc >

Many Thanks

Usually when someone has 'replied' rather than 'forwarded' the email to you.

Was it a .doc or something else ?

Actually DJ it is ones that he is sending, rather than receiving...

Sometimes this can occur if the system uses a Unix internet gateway and it's not configured correcly.
However it tends to happen with all attachements and only to mails going outside the Microsoft environment.
