| 180767 | 2003-10-06 02:50:00 | In this post ( . pcworld . co . nz/thread . jsp?forum=1&thread=39960" target="_blank">pressf1 . pcworld . co . nz) I was tryng to forward an animated email but couldn't because it automatically opens and runs when Forward is selected . Once it is running you cannot enter anything in the To: field or forward it to anybody else . It doesn't stop at the end either, by some quirk of coding it runs in an endless loop so I can't just wait till it finishes . The animation is not an attachment so I can't extract that on its own, so I clicked reply and saved the original message as an Outlook * . msg file . No other save option would work . Clicking on the saved message would run the animation so I thought that was the answer . I thought wrong :( I sent an email to a friend, copy to myself with the * . msg file attached, but although the email was delivered to both destinations, the attachment was not there . What am I doing wrong here? Cheers Billy 8-{) :| |

| 180768 | 2003-10-06 03:16:00 | If the email is in HTML, then maybe you could edit it to stop it running forever?? I'm not sure if this is possible however, as I have never done it before. It's worth a try. | somebody (208) | ||
| 180769 | 2003-10-06 03:40:00 | Because a .msg file is what emails and contacts are called if you drag them from inbox to an explorer folder, and outlook, (due no doubt to the fact that microsoft never thought that anyone would do something so odd (or normal) as attach an email to an email) says you can't attach emails to emails. Try zipping the .msg file. | nembathekid (4683) | ||

I've been chasing my tail . I can't see how the message is constructed and I suppose the audio and animation is all contained within an original html file or similar . I opened it in a hex/text editor to window in ZTree to remove email addresses and subject details etc but apart from those few bits of obvious information I was lost . Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 180771 | 2003-10-06 05:06:00 | Have you asked the person that sent it where they got it from? You don't happen to still have it sitting on the mail server accessible via web still do you? | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 180772 | 2003-10-06 05:34:00 | Are you using Outlook 2003? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Email on a leash Office 2003 unveils Microsoft’s Information Rights Management (IRM) technology , designed to help companies control documents and email . The Professional and Professional Enterprise packages, running on Windows Server 2003, let you create “protected” email messages that can’t be printed, forwarded or copied . You can also create Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents with similar restrictions and/or expiration dates, after which the files will not open . One point of IRM is to prevent someone from goofing up a document on which you’ve worked long and hard — a presentation with a corporate-mandated colour or graphics scheme, for example . But IRM’s main goal is to control the flow of information and thereby provide another layer of protection against corporate legal troubles and leaks . Recipients of IRM-protected files will need either Office 2003 or a viewer that Microsoft plans to offer on its website and incorporate into Internet Explorer . IRM could help companies lock down confidential documents, but there’s potential for aggravation . For instance, what if you send IRM-protected files to people who use a web browser other than IE? Whether the Microsoft viewer will play nicely with other browsers remains to be seen . If Outlook is your primary email client and contact manager, you’ll find that spending $239 for the new version’s fresh look and other enhancements is worthwhile . However, the improved Outlook is not sufficient justification for a total Office remodel . >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> from . co . nz/pcworld/pcw . nsf/f2abee2df7582f36cc2569a4007e4ab9/77ed1d927ab05b1ecc256da9007c1f50!OpenDocument" target="_blank">pcworld . co . nz |

I still have the original copy, and I have been playing with a second copy that I managed to fluke by forwarding a copy to myself. It worked just once (after several attempts) and never again since. I then made extra copies by replying to myself and copying the attached original to another folder. I was on the end of a long list of people who had forwarded it on but I don't know where it came from originally. And yes, if they could all forward it, why can't I. :( Cheers Billy 8-{) |
