File extension lost in mail attachment

L

Lars Jakobsen

The below problem occurs after I've upgraded from Office 2002 to Office 2003:

I have a template using some VBA code to make a Document Save As on a new
document. The document is saved in the "Word 97-2003 & 6.0/95 - RTF" format.
First I found the file was saved without a filename extension then I manually
added the extension (.doc) to the Filename in the VBA code. Secondly I found
that when I afterwards attach the Document to an email (Files - Send To -
Recipient (attached file)) the filename extension is missing in the email -
which of cause makes it difficult for the recipient to open the attached file.

However - if I close the document in reopen it and then from WORD attaches
it to an email again there is an extension - but this time the extension will
be ".rtf"

If anyone knows about a solution for this "bug" I'll will be much helpfull
for me to hear here about.

Thx in advance...
