<p class="Help-Text">There are known issues with using Outlook Express to handle file attachments, which is necessary when e-mailing documents or Store Exchange files. For this reason, if you also have Outlook installed, Point of Sale will use Outlook to send these files. Outlook Express will continue to be used when sending e-mails from a vendor or customer record.</p>
<p class="Help-Text">Your choices in this case are:</p>
<ul>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">Continue in the same manner in which it is working.</p>

<p>The customer lists you create can be sent directly to an e-mail marketing partner integrated with Point of Sale or can be manually uploaded to another provider of your choice. &#160;</p>
