No RTF contact

How do I tell Outlook 2003 that a contact cannot get RTF (so it
doesn't attach a WINMAIL.DAT file to it?

Same way you always do, double click the contacts email address and select Always send Plain Text.

I opened contacts, opened the e-mail address in question and didn't
see this option. I saw some tabs, labeled General, Details,
Activities, Certificates, and All Fields. I opened each tab, looking
for this setting (I remember that such a setting exists from the
past).

After looking at each page twice, I posted my original message in this
thread.

After your reply, I went through the above again. I still can't find
it.

I said nothing about doing what you did.

Did you double click on the actual email address ([email protected]) in the contact record? Did you choose Always send in Plain Text?

I said nothing about doing what you did.

When I didn't find anything clicking on the contact, I listed what I
did find in detail - I thought the contact name was the email address
(It's what I enter). Thanks for replying again.
Did you double click on the actual email address ([email protected]) in the contact record? Did you choose Always send in Plain Text?

I see it now. I thought that was data, not a menu.
