Outlook 2003 asian filename file attachment problem

P

plsntn_rules

Using Outlook 2003 on an XP SP1 box with the multilanguage
option selected for the OS.

When I create an email message using RTF as the format and
attach a file with an asian doublebyte filename, it
attaches it into the body of the email and all the
doublebyte characters are replaced with question marks
(?????.doc).

If I change the email format to HTML and attach the same
file, it attaches the file to a new field
called "Attach.." under the "Subject:" field and the
multibyte characters show up just fine.

Why don't the characters show up when I use RTF? Is this a
known limitation and is there anyway around it?

Thanks for any help.
