Outlook attachment save prompt behavior
- by kara-marfia
It seems they've put some Clippy-like behavior into Outlook 07. Assume you open an email message and open its attachment, given that you make no changes to the message or the attachment.
If you close the attachment, then close the email - works as expected
Close email - prompted to save changes to attachment
I have some clerical users, and they tend to believe what the computer tells them. In this case, I'm having a hard time determining the reason someone determined that Outlook should lie in this case, and prompt someone to save a file that hasn't changed.
Regardless, I've only been able to find examples of people failing to find a fix for this. Anyone have ideas?
edit: I should have clarified, I suppose I'm looking for a workarounnd, as it's consistently reproduceable for any machine, and I suspect is therefore "working as intended"
