Outlook 2003 Problem w/ Email Attachments & Embedded Pix

Various recipients do not received these. Problem began suddenly 9/21. No
hardware or software changes on my part before that. Reinstalled Outlook and
had all working right on 10/14. Then Microsoft automatic updates installed a
bunch of stuff. Problems since.

Have tried the Plain Text, HTML, RTF issue solutions.
I can see everything correctly in Sent Mail, and it's sometimes there when
recipient Replys the email to me - but s/he can't see it. Winmail.dat
frequently appears instead for them. Crazy thing: .pdf sent to 13 people,
10-11 will get it and not the others. Embedded pix sometimes will go through
to a recipient, but not the next time. There is no consistency in when
something will or won't be received. "Problem" recipients are on various
ISP's.

XP Pro SP3, tons of memory & HDD space, not using BCM or Exchange.

Am driving myself and the folks who have been servicng as guinea pigs while
I troubleshoot crazy.
Any ideas anyone?

What type of email server do you connect to? Do you know? Can you find
out?

Exchange? Novell? Other?

Are you sure they are all using Outlook and not (for example)
Outlook Express or Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail?
Sounds like the usual TNEF problem for those other E-mail clients.
