Text is lost when sending file as attachment from Office2003

Text in message form is lost when sending file as attachment from Office2003
(Danish edition)

Sometimes when working in Excel or Word I want to send the open document as
an attached file. I choose File, Send to, Mail Contact (as attachment). An
Outlook Window opens, the file is attached and I type some accompanying text
in the message window before sending the message.

The receiver receives an empty message with the attached file. The text in
the message form has disappeared.



Thank you for any suggestion.

Are you using Word or Outlook as the e-mail editor? Does changing it make a
difference?
What message format are you using? Does setting to Plain Text make a
difference?
In case of HTML; do you have the BETA of IE7 installed? Upgrade to RC1 and
try again.
Does your virus scanner integrate with Outlook? If so disable this
integration and try again.
