Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
This worked fine for me. Thanks so much for getting back to me.

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.

2025-04-06T03:59:16+00:00 I have the same issue - using a MAC with latest updated Outlook and can only attach in the body of email, not as separate attachments.

2024-10-14T01:42:19+00:00 This is bad, all I get is an image with a partial file name. It's not clear which .Pdf's I've attached. Two (or more) different Pdfs attached but all with the same image appearing in the message body with only the first 12 or so characters of the file name showing. Please return to previous.
