SUMMARY
You may want to use Microsoft Office collaboration features to share your Outlook e-mail messages. Office server collaboration is a function that enables collaboration on Office documents through the use of Microsoft Office 2000 Server Extensions. Outlook e-mail messages are not supported by the collaboration features of Office.



MORE INFORMATION
Outlook does not use the collaboration features of Microsoft Office because e-mail messages themselves are collaborative documents that can be sent between users for discussion. If you want to use Outlook to collaborate on a document, you can send the document as an attachment in a new e-mail message.

To send a document as an attachment:
 * 1) On the File menu, point to New, and then click New Mail Message.
 * 2) On the Insert menu, click File.
 * 3) In the Insert File box, browse to the location of your file, click the file, and then click Insert.

You can now send the new e-mail message to the person that you want to collaborate with.
