MORE INFORMATION
Attached Text File Added to Message Body
If you create an Outlook message with a text file attachment, and save the
message in a public folder, the message opens in the Exchange client for
the Macintosh with the text showing in the message body. The attached text
file becomes part of the text in the message body.
Saved Macintosh Binary Attachment Loses Resource Fork
If you use Outlook to save a Macintosh binary file attachment, the file
becomes unusable when moved back to the Macintosh operating system.
