http://www.msexchange.org -------------------------------------------------------Check to see if you have a contact for the one AOL account in your personal address book, if so you need to change it so that when you email that contact it sends out in plain text rather than RTF even though you configure Outlook to send in plain text globally in options, if you have a contact it will still send in RTF. -----Original Message----- From: exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Maglinger, Paul Sent: Tuesday, July 25, 2006 10:45 AM To: Exchangelist (Freelist) Subject: [ExchangeList] Attachment sent to AOL account coming up as winmail.dat file on one system http://www.msexchange.org -------------------------------------------------------CEO (so you know that this is important) receives a Excel spreadsheet in his email. He forwards the email to two people outside of the company using their AOL accounts. Both people are running AOL 9. One person receives the email with attachment and is able to open it without issue. The other person receives the attachment as a winmail.dat and can't do anything with it. The CEO has tried forwarding the email as a plain text and it still bombs. Have tried using Outlook Express to open the email and no joy. We can create a new email with an Excel attachment using plain text, HTML, RTF and it works correctly on both clients. AOL tech support has been less than supportive. Anyone run across this? Any thoughts? If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. - Doug Larson ________________________________ Paul Maglinger, A+, CA, CCA, CET, MCSE Systems Administrator Shoe Carnival Inc.
