The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Mail for Windows, version 3.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you reply to a version 3.0 Microsoft Mail for Windows message that contains
an Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) object, the OLE object is translated into
<<OLE Object:Object Name>> and then the object is no longer visible.

CAUSE
=====

This is by design. All Microsoft Mail 3.0 clients do not copy attachments into
Reply notes (OLE objects are handled the same way as attachments). This limits
the size of the reply.

RESOLUTION
==========

If the OLE object is critical to the reply, do one of the following:

- Use the Copy and Paste functions to include the items from the original
  message.

-or-

- Use Forward instead of Reply. Forward will include the OLE objects.
