Attachments convert to text form

[Tork2001]

When I send a message with an attachment in Outlook XP some receivers claim
that all they receive is a text mail.
My default mail format is plain text. If I change it to HTML I fear some
recivers would not see the content at all.

How can I solve it ?

Note: I change the format of a particular mail if it contains an
attachment, but sometimes I miss to do that.

Can you reproduce this problem by sending a message to, say, a Yahoo
account?

I doubt the problem is on your end. What kind of mail server do you use?

Attachments on plain text messages are perfectly legitimate. Perhaps the
problem is on their end.
