I do a lot of MS word documents/contracts on my computer to send to
clients. I always send myself a copy of it too. So when it is coming
from me, to me, I can guarantee it is leaving as a .doc, and it comes
back as a .doc online but on my phone it comes in as a winmail.dat.
As a doc online how? A Microsoft email application, perhaps? What does
a webmail interface show you?
A Microsoft app will show you a winmail.dat as a doc file.
I used to be able to open and read my own .doc contracts on my phone
but it changed a while back (can't tell you the exact date it changed)
but something has changed with k9 to cause this problem since the
document is fine out on the web and when it comes into my desktop.
Your Microsoft desktop? On the web as viewed via Outlook?
Microsoft has a long history of creating applications that violate
standards (they do NOT write the standards, the code they write is NOT
gospel) and hiding that from the users.
Since k9 used to be able to open these just fine, I know that they
should be able to fix whatever is causing the problem now.
I can confidently assure you that the K-9 developers (I'm NOT one of
them) have no interest in writing and maintaining the code for
converting a .doc to a winmail.dat.
Even if no one has the answer at present, k9 needs to look into
changes they have made that might be causing the issue and fix it back
to the way it was. Are the k9 coders reading these posts to know of
the problem?
Please email me a doc file and cc yourself. I will look at it via
gmail's web interface (chrome and firefox on Linux), K-9 (Android 4.4.2
and 5.1.1), and Thunderbird on Linux. I promise to be honest about what
I see.
