Odd, I've never seen that and usually have to specifically choose to
include the attachment in the very rare cases that's been desirable.

<looks around>

Under the Edit menu there is an Attachments submenu. One of the choices
there is to include attachments in replies, she must have it set to be
on (checked).

Windows Friendly attachments should be checked in that same submenu.

Normally clicking the square will cause the attachment to download. If
not, there si a hairline ruler between the header and the body of the
email. When you move the mouse in that area, a few buttons appears (a
trash can, some arrows, and a paperclip. The Paperclip will give you
access to the attachments nd let you open each one or even send them all
into iphoto if you wish.

Well, I have a pretty low opinion of Outlook, so I'd say no.
