SYMPTOMS
This article contains a list of interoperability problems between Microsoft Outlook 98 and Apple Macintosh files. This article discusses the following issues you may encounter when using Outlook with Macintosh file attachments:
 * Attached text file added to message body
 * Saved Macintosh binary attachment loses resource fork



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



Attached Text File Added to Message Body
If you create an Outlook message with a text file attachment, and save the message in a public folder, the message opens in the Exchange client for the Macintosh with the text showing in the message body. The attached text file becomes part of the text in the message body.

Saved Macintosh Binary Attachment Loses Resource Fork
If you use Outlook to save a Macintosh binary file attachment, the file becomes unusable when moved back to the Macintosh operating system.
