Hi There - I have been forwarding emails with attachments from my old computer to this new one (old uses Outlook, new one Windows mail) and for some reason Windows mail receives some attachments, but not others. Attachments are Word or Excel documents. Is there something about these attachments that I should change, or that Windows Mail can't read? I have tried to simply cut and paste the information into a new document, but that document couldn't be received either. Thanks! |

Outlook has a proprietary attachment format called RTF. When sending from Outlook, make sure you select plain text (best) or HTML format.
