SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to paste a file into a message that you are composing, you may receive the following error message:
This occurs with an extension that implements IExchExtAttachedFileEvents::OnReadPattFromSzFile. Alternatively, if you attempt to attach a file by using the Insert File command, you do not receive an error message, but the file is not inserted.
CAUSE
The return of S_OK from a client extension's implementation of IExchExtAttachedFileEvents::OnReadPattFromSzFile causes Microsoft Outlook to abort the attachments.
Outlook 2002 changed the way Outlook reacted to return values from OnReadPattFromSzFile. In earlier versions of Outlook, if the extension returned S_OK from OnReadPattFromSzFile, Outlook continued processing of the attachments and the file actually got attached. In Outlook 2002, the return of S_OK causes Outlook to throw an E_ABORT return code, which aborts the attachments process.
