converted .doc attachments

[robin]

Using MSFT Outlook 2000, when I attach a .doc to a mail
and send it the 1st time, the recipient gets a .dat rather
than .doc that may or may not convert on "save-as". If I
resend the same mail with the same .doc attachment, the
recipient gets the correct file.doc rather than the
file.dat.

Do I have a messed up setting?

Thx

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.
