If you send a Rich Text Format (RTF) e-mail message that contains a Word document attachment to an e-mail enabled document library, the Word document attachment is not added to the e-mail enabled document library

Consider the following scenario. You use Outlook 2003 and Exchange Server 2003 to send e-mail messages to e-mail enabled document libraries. You send a Rich Text Format (RTF) e-mail without a body. The RTF e-mail contains a Word document attachment. In this situation, the Word document attachment is not added to the e-mail enabled document library.

To resolve this issue, apply the following update:
