Greetings all.
I'm a REALLY new mac person. Just started a new job at a new company and they all have macs...which I'm really starting to love!

However, I'm having an issue with email attachments. When I send emails out to multiple people with attachments (so far with WORD and PDF documents), some people get the email just fine...and others get the email message BUT no attachment...not even a suggestion that there should be an attachment.

When I check my 'sent' file, it shows as though the email went out with the attachment.

I have the "send windows-friendly attachments" box checked. Can't think of what else to check.

Any ideas??

Thanks.

That may be a function of how your recipients have their email clients settings adjusted to. Especially those folks who you send email to that are using Windows machines. Security settings may either strip the attachments off or they may be suppressed. Most large businesses restrict incoming attachments and will only accept those that are generated within the company.

Regards.
