Ok, thanks for the info.

All my users are using OWA (Outlook Web Access). By default everything goes out 
as HTML obviously.
Where to from here? Is there a way to force OWA to go text?

Thanks,
Chris

winmail.dat = RTF
Have your users send in plain text format.

Hi all,

I have a problem.

Running Exchange 2003 (NO-SP1) on Windows 2003 Standard Server. All is running 
good.
Our Users are using OWA over HTTPS/SSL.

When users send email with an attachment, some of the recipients recieve a 
win.dat or winmail.dat attachment, and that's all.
The users experiencing this problem are using a web-based email client 
(non-Microsoft) which also does not appear to support HTML within the message.

I am told that this is my problem. Im thinking 'no'.
Can anyone shed some light?

Thanks,
Chris
