SYMPTOMS
When you receive an e-mail message with a file attachment and you save the attachment on your computer, the date and time stamps are changed to your computer's current date and time settings instead of maintaining the original date and time stamp.



RESOLUTION
The resolution for this problem has one limitation. It does not work for any files that are attached to an e-mail message by using a drag-and-drop operation. The drag-and-drop operation uses the Clipboard. Outlook does not control the Clipboard, and Outlook cannot obtain the date and time information from the Clipboard.

If the sender uses a command on the menu to attach a file to an e-mail message the date and time information for the file is maintained when you save the attachment.

A supported fix that corrects this problem is now available from Microsoft, but it has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem.

The English-language version of this fix should have the following file attributes or later:   Date       Time     Version     Size        File name     Platform -  11/01/1999 4:51PM   8.5.7101.0  6,606,608   Outllib.dll   (x86)
