Hello,
Some emails contain winmail.dat (I can see it from Thunderbird) but my outlook just IGNORES them. Latest patches are install, Outlook is 2007 SP3 of course.
Other users here are getting these mails just fine - I tried to disable my antivirus - also didn't help. I compared everything with other users and again, I cannot understand what is the issue. I even see something "attached" (staple icon) but nothing inside (expect pure TEXT message). All pictures/logos are not here.
Some messages are okay, most are not. Again, it's reader issue (my side) - as outlook has only RTF/HTML options as a sender.
Any help will be appreciated.

The problem is usually caused at the sender's end.
