That's what it looks like to me. Like the other clients do not support
Microsoft's version of RTF properly, so they convert it to an attachment.

Frank,
Yes, I know that part...this is the user that's experiencing the problem.
She says that when she sends an e-mail to her clients that some get it and
others get the file that I attached....the winmail.dat. She's using Outlook
2000 with Rich Text but obviously some of her users are using other
non-Outlook clients that may be interpreting these attachments wrong...do
you think?

Your e-mail that you sent out includes the attached file to which you refer.
Judging by what I can see by viewing it with a text editor, it looks like
some sort of vCard for someone named Cyndi Barna with the e-mail address of

Ok, I have a user who's claiming that when they try to send an attachment
the user receiving the attachment receives the attachment that I've included
in this e-mail. It's called "winmail.dat" Does anyone know what this is
all about?
Here is the message that our user gave us explaining the situation:
"I sent the letter below to a client. His response was that, while he could
read the letter, he could not open the attachment. I did not include an
attachment. Is this "mystery attachment" perhaps caused by the font that I
use for my email address? I have gotten this same response from other
clients--but not all of them. But, I don't always use the same font on my
signature. This is the only thing I can think of. Or, does it have
anything to do with the fact that I send stuff in Message Rich Text? Or
perhaps it has to do with the system that is receiving the document.
Please help me figure this out because I would like to eliminate the
confusion of the "mystery attachment". By the way, here is the attachment
that shows up on return emails from said clients."
Now, I think the Rich Text part has something to do with it, but I'm not
sure if the type of font being used is a problem. I also noticed that the
attachment comes embedded within the e-mail body which I believe I've seen
on this list in regards to Rich Text being the culprit. Any ideas will be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks
