Default mail format

[nh]

When I right click on a file and select send as
attachment, it always creates a plain text email.

I have set all of the defaults I can find in Outlook to
HTML, but they only seem to affect new messages created
within Outlook..

Is there a way to get Windows to create a new HTML message
rather than plain text?

(I am using Outlook 2000 and Windows 200 Pro)

Thanks

Nick

This is normal behavior, because you're not sending through Outlook directly
but with the Simple MAPI interface, which does only plain text. The solution
is to add a new Windows shortcut to your <userprofile>\SendTo folder with
this as the target:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE" /a %1
