Cannot Forward Attachment from BBS by E-Mail
Last reviewed: October 7, 1997

Article ID: Q134290

The information in this article applies to:


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

SYMPTOMS
When you forward a bulletin board (BBS) message by e-mail, attached files are not forwarded.

CAUSE
Files attached to BBS messages are stored in rich text format (RTF). When you forward or reply to a message by e-mail, the BBS uses Simple MAPI. Simple MAPI does not support RTF. For this reason, attached files are not forwarded.

STATUS
This feature is under review and will be considered for inclusion in a future release.
