OL2002: File Attachment Is Lost When You Send Multiple Attachments

When you use Microsoft Outlook 2002 with Microsoft Office XP Service Pack 2 (SP-2) installed and you send an e-mail message that contains both a non-Microsoft Office file attachment and an Office file attachment, the non-Office file attachment may be lost.

This problem occurs when all the following conditions are true:

• You create the e-mail message as either plain text format or Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) format.
  
  and
• You first attach an Office file (for example, a .doc file) to the e-mail message, and you then attach a non-Office file (for example, a .txt file) to the e-mail message.
  
  and
• You save the e-mail message before you send it.
