SYMPTOMS

When you try to send a fax with Microsoft Fax, you receive the following non-delivery report (NDR):
Cannot send an embedded message in editable format

CAUSE

Although you can fax an attachment with Microsoft Fax, you cannot fax an embedded mail message. If you insert a mail message and then try to fax it, you receive the error message stated above.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, use either of the following methods:
  • Rather than embedding the mail message, forward it to the fax address.
  • Fax the mail message as text. To do so, follow these steps:
    1. On the Insert menu, click Message.
    2. In the Insert As field, click Text Only.
    3. Click the message you want to send and then click OK.
    4. Fax the message.
    NOTE: When you insert a mail message as text, any attachments in the original message are not included.
