See http://www.joshjacob.com/macdev/tnef/index.html for info and an app to decode winmail.dat files.
>From this: "The file is a rich text (or MAPI) message that is sent from Outlook to Exchange. When Exchange sends the message to an outside server it writes the MAPI message as a MIME attachment. The unfortunate side effect of this plan is if the Outlook user has someone in their address book as a person who can receive "Rich Text" then the user will receive the TNEF file whether the user uses Outlook or not." So to prevent her sending it she can change the setting in her address book. Then you'd probably just get a fairly normal (ie 10k of MS HTML for one paragraph of actual text) message. -- Alan At 03:22 PM 19/03/02 EST, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >Entourage is nice, but I have one problem with it. > > If my wife sends me an email with an attachment from Outlook on our Windows 2000 machine with Office 2000 w/ Outlook.
