Outlook 2010 has problems dealing with in-line attachment (not an Exchange issue!)

[steve maser]

Hi all...

Is there an official way to have this bug looked at?

(Note -- it is *not* the Exchange/PDF bug that has been semi-addressed with the very-recentInterim Update for Exchange 2007...)



If I set up Outlook 2010 to use an IMAP server account (not an Exchange account) and send that account a message from Apple's Mail.app program -- that contains an in-line attachment -- Outlook 2010 displays the e-mail incorrectly.



If I send e-mail using Apple Mail of the form:

<some text>

attachment (and in this case I've tried .pdf, .docx, .xls, etc. -- it seems not to matter what the attachment is...)

<additional text>

<signature>



Outlook 2010 displays the resulting e-mail with a problem:

The received e-mail will look like this

<some text>

then *two* attachments -- the attached file *and* an "Untitled Attachment" that contains the <additional text> and <signature> parts of the e-mail (!)



The reproducible bug (at least here) is that Outlook 2010 should display the remaining text after the in-line attachment within the *body* of the e-mail message.

Again, this is *not* the recent Exchange issue with .pdf files -- this is strictly an Outlook issue.



Any thoughts/help on this one?
