Problems with attachments

[M Smith]

I have not been able to send attachments from Outlook that
originate with my machine (I have win ME on a Dell
laptop). Also, some people will get the attachment, but
it will be changed from .doc to .dat, etc. However, I can
forward attachments sent to me and the recipients will get
them. Please help! Thanks.

Make sure you use HTML or Plain Text format when sending messages to users
of any other e-mail client besides Outlook. Don't use Rich Text format,
which is proprietary to Outlook and will cause problems for other
recipients, one of which is that they won't get your attachments and instead
they'll usually get that ".dat" file.
