Well..this just gets curiouser and curiouser...when Ess posts to this group I get no winmail.dat attachment, but I also receive the digest version of this group's mail (just so I can see how it looks) and today's digest had a winmail.dat attachment. Like I said before, Don...when you get those winmail.dat attachments, I bet you anything the sender is using Outlook Rich Text. As far as I know, these attachments are harmless, but I wouldn't open any .dat file from anyone you don't know anyway...just to be safe.
