SYMPTOMS
If you right-click a message that only contains an attachments stub and is archived with third-party software, Outlook 2002 may stop responding (crash) in the Mso.dll file.
CAUSE
The problem occurs because the third-party program deletes the attachment properties in the message. This causes the attachment to be inaccessible in the message, and the attachment is then inaccessible to users.
