Outlook 2003 client not showing attachments from Mac Mail
Received email from sender, with a paperclip icon indicating an attachment is present.
However on opening the email , the attachment is not present.
Tried forwarding the email to myself in plain text, didn't work!
Tried SAVE ALL ATTACHMENTS, that doesn't work!
In the end I had to forward the email to a Gmail account, and the PDF attachment was visible.
Now, I understand this issue has been addressed for Outlook 2010, by installing service pack 3 rollup 4.

However I was previously on Roll-up 3-V2 and jumped to Roll-up 5
- Is Rollup 5 a cumulative update, i.e. I don't need to install Roll-up 4, as Roll-up 5 contains roll-up also?
The reason I ask is that after installing Rollup 5, the Outlook 2003 client is still now showing the attachment.

Is the ShowInlineAttachments in get-OrganizationConfig set to true?
Take a look at the following article:

How was PDF attachment encoded in MIME? Application/octet-stream or Application/PDF?
Use the steps in my reply in this thead to see how the attachment was encoded
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchange2010/thread/32482e6b-082d-4997-a954-02c7bca53cfc/#45cd302b-2b52-4d83-8df3-bda07f5533ba
------=_NextPart_000_0158_01C91E22.7B6CF7B0
Content-Type: application/pdf;
name="taughtli.pdf"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="taughtli.pdf"
is encoded properly and will work. On the other hand, something like:
------=_NextPart_000_0158_01C91E22.7B6CF7B0
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
name="squarekn.pdf"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="squarekn.pdf"
is not encoded properly and will be blocked by outlook security.

I think I remember this one. Inline attachment Exchange 2007 - Outlook 2003 specific. Had to search a bit, it's been a while, but here's a discussion of it:

Just to clarify , these attachments are not visible in Outlook 2003 or 2007 . only visible in OWA or Gmail etc.
I do not have Outlook 2010 , so cannot test if works or not.
The blogspot mentioned above doesn't work, have previously tried this.

Same issue for all users? So if you send an the email from a MAC to multiple users, do they all have the same issue?Sukh
October 20th, 2011 5:28am
All users have the same problem, as I have on-forwarded the Mac message to other mailboxes. and they also have the same issue.
We do not have any Mac's to resend a new email.

what about if you remove all update and put on only 5?Sukh
October 20th, 2011 4:20pm
Are you suggesting that I remove the following service pack 3 Roll-ups from my system;
Remove Roll-up 1
Remove Roll-up 2
Remove Roll-up 3-v2
Remove Roll-up 5
Then install only roll-up 5?
Can someone else comment if this is a good idea , and do not want to corrupt my system!

I'm guessing this fix doesn't work retropectively , i.e. it will not show inline attachments for emails sent prior to the rollup 5 install.
It is now showing attachments to emails after rollup 5 was applied, and not prior.
I guess this should be highlighed in the KB -
