| Has anyone had the problem of e-mailing out of Outlook to say Yahoo.com or Hotmail.com and your attachments come out as winmail.dat and not the file that you sent. I have looked on MS knowledge base and I am sending mail to Yahoo.com about this. Could this be a setting within Outlook or what?
Thanks!! | |

| maybe the attachments are bigger then the attachment limit yahoo or hotmail
allows so the attachment gets snipped?? | |

| It has something to do with rich text formatting. Outlook uses this winmail.dat file to store this information. Some how her Outlook seems to be combining this file and her original document together and making one large winmail.dat file that yahoo and hotmail can’t read. Will keep you posted... | |

| I think you are on to something. Does plain text and HTML mail send okay? | |

| I had this problem before with sending message from Outlook to Netscape mail .The problem lies in Outlook . You have to change the text type from Microsoft Rich text to plain text and that should solve the problem. | |

| Yeah, that is what I have done. That’s about the only thing that MS knowledge base tells you to do. Has something to do with a protocol that only Outlook uses and it says that the other servers can’t read it. Even though I can send mail fine from my Outlook using rich text and it comes out fine. Leave it to MS to come up with that. Thanks for your help.  |
