I use ATT for my ISP, but I use Outlook to download and
send my email from/through the ATT server. When I send a
word or excel attachment to and AOL user, they get it as
a win.dat file which they can not open. Why is this
happening?

Make sure you use HTML or Plain Text format when sending messages to users
of any other e-mail client besides Outlook. Don't use Rich Text format,
which is proprietary to Outlook and will cause problems for other
recipients, one of which is that they won't get your attachments.
