        Wait - -we- corrupt documents ? :-) such that (only) when you shove
them through some random piece of 3rd party software we don't have with
some random virus checker/cleaner in-place you get something very odd
happening, the document fails to open ? [ all the contents killed ]

        Well this is some hideous server / anti-virus bug on the Exchange side
- pretty obviously. A mail server that deletes your attachments is ...
unbelievable.

        So - *iff* this can be reproduced for a given document - where that
identical (and preferable really small) document has been loaded and
saved in both OO.o and LibreOffice - and it is certain that only one has
got through successfully: then we need to diff the documents and try to
binary chop out whatever is provoking Outlook to whatever extreme of
stupidity and try to -work-around- -their- dumb bug.

        If you can get those docs - please do attach them; I've updated the
bug.

        ATB,

                Michael.
