[xmail] winmail.dat pain
Hi all, I have a user that is trying to send ENTF / RTF formatted messages using MS Outlook. Problem is that his emails are received by XMail but are formatted differently and also have winmail.dat attached. How can I handle that and what are my options? Anyone have any experience with this. Thanks a lot -fred ___ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail
Re: [xmail] winmail.dat pain
I have found an utility that might help me writing a filter for this.
I guess it might be possible to run this program, save the processed message
to the recipient mailbox. Any help would be appreciated.
mail# tnef --help
tnef: [options] [FILE]
-f FILE,--file=FILE use FILE as input ('-' == stdin)
-C DIR, --directory=DIR unpack files into DIR
-x SIZE --maxsize=SIZE limit maximum size of extracted archive
(bytes)
-t, --list list files, do not extract
--list-with-mime-types list files and mime-types, do not extract
-w, --interactive ask for confirmation for every action
--confirmation same as -w
--overwrite Overwrite existing files
--number-backupsInstead of overwriting file FOO,
create FOO.n instead
--use-paths Use pathnames for files if found in the TNEF
file (for security reasons paths to
included
files are ignored by default)
--save-rtf[=FILE] [DEPRECATED] Save the RTF message body to a
file
--save-body[=FILE] Save the message body to a file
-h, --help show this message
-K, --ignore-checksum Ignore any checksum error (warn only)
-V, --version display version and copyright
-v, --verbose produce verbose output
--debug produce a lot of output
If FILE is not specified standard input is used

Hi all,
I have a user that is trying to send ENTF / RTF formatted messages using MS
Outlook.
Problem is that his emails are received by XMail but are formatted

How can I handle that and what are my options? Anyone have any experience
with this.
Thanks a lot

Re: [xmail] winmail.dat pain
I am not sure Davide, all I know is that when receiving his email on my XMail server it is formatted in Plain Text and have winmail.dat attached. If he sends it to his other mail provider the email is in Rich Text and it's formatted like it was when he sent it using MS Outlook. *pulling hair* I hate MS so bad. -fred -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Davide Libenzi Sent: 21 novembre 2008 14:42 To: XMail Users Mailing List Subject: Re: [xmail] winmail.dat pain On Fri, 21 Nov 2008, fred wrote: Hi all, I have a user that is trying to send ENTF / RTF formatted messages using MS Outlook.

I am running out of ideas. Any help / suggestions is appreciated. Probably MS servers/clients detects each other, and change format depending of the remote peer. Just a guess. - Davide ___ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail
