From: Andrea on 12 Apr 2010 22:43 I'm using Office 2007 with Windows XP, SP3. Whenever I close an Outlook email with an attachment, I get a message telling me that "The attachments of the message "xxxxx" have been changed. Do you want to save changes to this message?" I get this even if I haven't changed the attachment. Is there a way to disable this annoying feature?

You *have* changed the attachment - you've opened it :) OK... well, Outlook doesn't know what you've done to the opened attachment, it *does* know you've opened it. Hence the "safety" prompt. Someone else may know if there is a way of disabling the prompt, I don't. -- Duncan.

I guess I don't consider opening a document changing it, and I never got this message in Office 2003. What I need is a way to disable this as a default. Can anyone help?

There's no option in Outlook that controls this. It happens in Outlook 2003 as well. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

I don't use the reading pane, but I just tried it, and it doesn't make any difference. The behavior's the same. I don't remember having this happen with Outlook 2003. Does it happen to everyone or is there some combination of settings that makes it do this? |
