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.

    Well, shortly after I posted this original post, mine started doing the same thing and a bit of research indicated that this was a new Microsoft setting. It now does the same thing for everyone in our organization. At this point, I'd just like to submit a request to Microsoft to further change the setting so that the attachment icon still shows in the email folders.

    I second this request, "change the setting so that the attachment icon still shows in the email folders".

    I support this request as well. Our users are frustrated by it. Please change the setting so that the attachment icon still shows in the email folders. Thank you!

    Has there been a fix for this yet? I've spent hours trying to correct this attachment issue at no avail.
