Attachment in separate field instead of in body of message

I was always used that attachment(s) in an e-mail are placed in a field under
Subject, but at my new job, they are placed in the body itself, which I find
annoying.

I've tried a lot of things but I can't find where to change this.

Help, please!

It's a function of the message format -- RTF vs. HTML or plain text.

Thanks for your attempt to help me. Alas, so far unsuccesful (most likely my
shortcoming as you write books about this).

Re your solution (about Message formats), that is what MS Help keeps telling
me, but I can't make it work. Also, what I understand is that this is valid
for attached messages (not files). What I want is the same as for the BCC
field, selecting to show the field and when attaching a file (by dragging it
to the field), you see a small icon (DOC, PPT, PDF) and the name of the file
in that field.

The Help states that if format is HTML or Plain, the message will appear in
the Attach line. Basic problem is that I can't make this Attach line appear
in the Form.
I see TO, CC, BCC and Subject. Why not Attach??

Going to the Form designer and adding Attachment, all I get is attachment
with a small square, probably indicating Attachment Y/N.

Regards,
Michiel
 
You will see the Attachment box only if the message contains attachments. There is no need for Outlook to show it when no attachments are present. Even when the box is not visible, you can still drag a file to the item and drop it to attach it.
