Outlook 2000 turns attachments into winmail.dat files

Anyone know how to configure outlook so that i can send
attachments to non outlook users without switching off
RTF?

My laptop seems to be able to do this but my pc can't
(with my pc i have to amend each contact so that it send
in plaintext only - but this is a trial and error method).

You cannot send RTF to non-Outlook/Eudora users - period. They will always
receive the winmail.dat as it contains all of the formatting that their mail
client cannot read.
