Did you ever figure out the reason for the problem?
Thanks
I am using Outlook 2002 SP2 on Win-XP Professional. This was a recent upgrade from Outlook 2000. Can anyone tell me how to insert a outlook item in mail like previously received/sent mail or contact.
In Outlook 2000 when you compose a mail there used to be an option called "Insert Item" just below "Insert File" which would let you insert as an attachment an item from your Outlook.
