My attached word documents get converted to .dat

Can anyone help me with a problem? I am trying to email an attached MS Word
document to a couple of people. When I send it to myself, there is no
problem. When I send it to other people, they receive it at a winword.dat
file. What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?

Change your email format to either Plain Text or HTML. This happens when you
send mail in Rich Text Format (Outlook default setting) to users who don't
use Outlook.

HI:

I have the same issue and I use Yahoo business mail.
How do I change the default of my e-mail to HTML?

Thanks.
