Yes, that article addresses email clients that can't recognize winmail.dat
files. The solution according to that article is to disable RTF and/or .HTML
mail formatting from within Outlook. Either way, even disabling .rtf and .html
formatting doesn't solve my problem. Any attachments I send (.xls .doc, etc)
don't go through. My email shows up with a winmail.dat file in it but not the
attachment I included.
Thanks for your reply!
Craig

I am sure you have done your research, but I found an MS Article 278061 so if
you could look at it, and I really wish that it has the answer to your question
Let me know how it went please

Yeah, all service packs for both Windows 2000 & 2003 and Exchange 2000 &
2003 have been applied.
Thanks,

I believe SP1 could take care of the problem. Try it and let us know how
it went

Hi all,
About a week ago we added an Exchange 2003 server to our organization
with plans to move our current users from our Exchange 2000 server. All the
prerequisites for adding this second server (including the tests recommended
before install) were met and the install ation went well. As is the case with
most new implementations, I was the guinnea pig and moved my mailbox over to
the new server (2003) and I continued to receive emails as normal.
I was informed recently that when I send an email with an attachment or
(god forbid) a stationery background to a user for which their mailbox still
resides on the Exchange 2000 server, the email appears with a winmail.dat file
in the Attachments section and the body of the message is missing. When a user
on the E2K server sends me emails with attachments or backgrounds, I receive
them fine.
Any ideas or solutions?
Thanks!
Craig
