Sending distribution list externally loses formatting

K

Hello,

I have a user who has a problem with sending Distribution Lists as an
attachment.

He uses Outlook 2003 and was trying to send one of his Distribution
Lists as an attachment. He would open the DL, and then click on
Action -> Forward to send the DL as an attachment. Internal
recipients receive the attachment fine, and can add the DL to their
Contacts. External recipients receive it as a .msg attachment so it
looks like an attached e-mail message with nothing inside. DLs are
sent in .msg format when sent as an attachment, but the formatting is
lost somewhere so that it becomes unusable for external recipients.

This is on an Exchange 2007 server. My company also runs an Exchange
2007 server and I can recreate the same issue with Outlook 2007 within
my own organization (internal works, external does not), so it is not
a user specific issue.

I have tried "dragging and dropping," I have tried "inserting item," I
have tried RTF, but no matter what the DL is always received as a
blank .msg attachment to external recipients.

The user said this used to work, which may have been when they were on
Exchange 2003. Can anybody confirm this is working for their Exchange
2007 setup?
