It's funny when such a supposedly sophisticated program cannot do a very simple task. Apparently, MS Outlook cannot keep attachments when you reply. If you want to keep attachments in reply, you have two options:
1) You have to Forward - losing the participants in the mail
2) Let Outlook attach the original mail as an attachment instead of including it.
Both options kind of suck. At the moment I'm stuck with having to Forward and manually add back all the participants. And this is one of the many problems I have with Outlook: it's agonizingly slow, The whole machine grinds to a halt when it's downloading a message, and when it gets a message it does not like, it obliges by crashing over and over again. Thunderbird in comparison is super fast and never crashed on me. I only use Outlook (2003) at work, and that too only because the company has standardized on Outlook as the default mail client. They didn't go with Thunderbird because it did not have a (good enough) meeting facility. That I guess is a good example of how bad software triumphs over good software simply thanks to Bloat.
