Attachments, (Word and Excel), from my PC partners, using Outlook
arrive in my Entourage email as .dat attachments. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Your entourage correspondents have their Outlook set to use RTF format. Only
Outlook can read this mail format (and, I believe gmail). Try asking them to
use HTML instead (they can change the default setting in their message
options). Until they do, you can use the utility 'TNEF's Enough' to extract
the attachments.
