Attachments in Outlook appear as DAT files

[Joe]

Hi Liz,

I have just received an answer to the same question (mine
you can see on general questions - Office). The
winmail.dat is received when the sender is using "Rich
Text Format" - use text only and it works!
However, my question remains, "how do you
stop "winmail.dat" and still continue to use RICH TEXT
FORMAT?

Regards
Joe

You can use RTF between Outlook users - it is other mail clients that can't
read it.
