Hi Penny. Outlook does that under certain circumstances, and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278061 will outline how to change Outlook settings so you don't end up getting the winmail.dat files as attachments anymore. I think there might be a couple of applications that might be able to decode whatever's in the file, but they're all for Windows..and not perfect. Easiest bet is to forward them again as plaintext as outlined above in the microsoft support link. cheers, jane
