Outlook attachments showing in body of email rather than attached to it

We have one user whose email attachments always show in the body of her emails rather than as attachments. We have already confirmed that her default format is HTML. I have watched her process for attaching them and it is exactly as I do them and mine always show as attachments. Please advise. *I have since learned that this was a changed instituted by Microsoft and now all links show up in the body of the email rather than as an attachment. Not a glitch; just a bad update.

    I noticed the same. I switch the email I am writing or receiving to HTML and the attachment is not in the body of the email. If I open the New Outlook version then the attachment is showing up. In the New Outlook, messages are set to compose as HTML.

    I agree this is unprofessional and we should not have to ask to fix something that shouldn't be broken.

    I was having the same issue. I found the issue to be with Adobe. I closed Adobe and signed back in and it worked. Hope this works for everyone else.

    I am using a Mac and am unable to have attachments to the message - they all appear in the body. I have tried changing format to Plain Text, not Rich...problem still persists.

    Can you please let me know the options when on a Mac.

    Thank you
