Article ID: Q137106

The information in this article applies to:


 * The Microsoft Network versions 1.0, 1.05, 1.2, 1.3, 2.0, 2.5

SUMMARY
An attachment to an e-mail message you send to the Internet can only be a file, not a message or object (such as a shortcut).

MORE INFORMATION
If you insert a message or object into an Internet e-mail message, The Microsoft Network removes the inserted message or object before sending the e-mail message.

The Microsoft Network automatically encodes attachments using UUENCODE before sending Internet e-mail messages.
