Outlook 2000 won't forward attachments

[chromian]

I didn't believe it at first, but apparently when I forward an incoming
message that has (for example, an MS Word ) attachment, and JPEGS, the
recipient receives only a file called Winmail1.dat
It cannot be opened normally.
Not all recipients complain, so I am not sure if it happens all the time.
I am using Zonelabs firewall.
I am sure this behaviour is not usual, but I haven't figured out the precise
circumstances when this happens.

Can anyone help, please?

I am sorry if this is a common problem that you've answered before.

Thanks

Ian

Use Plain Text or HTML - Outlook Rich Text format is the problem. Only
Outlook and Eudora can understand that format.
