Subject: attached files and outlook

Hi there,

I run Postfix (19990906-pl08) on a Linux system (Mandrake 6), and the
clients use Outlook (97 or 2000) or Outlook Express with POP/SMTP.
It seems that there are problems with attached files.
In some cases, the recipient of a message that contains an attached file
(say a .doc) cannot see the attached file at all. The received message has a
consistent size (that is more than the same message without the attached
file), but the mail software doesn't see that there is an attached file.
What puzzles me the most is that I cannot sort out a pattern : between two
clients it works fine, but between two others it doesn't, even if all of
them use Outlook 97.
In one case, a client send with Outlook 97 a message with a file attached.
When the recipient uses Outlook Express, the file is not visible. But when
he uses Outlook 97, the file is visible.

I think that Postfix is involved because when I tried with Exchange Server,
running only POP and SMTP, in all case the attached files were OK.

Can you help me ?

thanks
Emmanuel Thiry
