Winmail.dat
Hi
We have an external supplier who uses Outlook 2010 to send us email with attachments either word or PDF files and they come through as winmail.dat attachments.
We are using Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2010...
I know these issues arise if we had been using anything other than Outlook and all the knowledge base issues point to other mail clients but as I stated we are using Outlook 2007...
What could be the issue?
Thanks for your help.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
The only solution I have found for this when it happens is as follows....
You get your sender to do the following on there exchange server (Exchange 2010 example)
In organization config goto Remote domains and add a remote domain for YOURDOMAIN.COM
On the message format tab under Exchange Rich-Text Format: tick Never Use
Then your mail will come through normal.

Can you find out what format they send in? they should be able to ask the ISP.

Sorry - you are right! I wondered where I got the idea from!

Just click 'Object'

I was hoping for a more permanent fix rather than using a reader (which I have installed and using as a work around for know)
Thanks
