**** As a doc online how? A Microsoft email application, perhaps? What does a webmail interface show you?
I was rereading your email and noticed that I didn't answer the above question you asked. I use IE and go to my webmail online. From there I open the email and see my attachment. It is listed as a .doc I can then click on it and click view. Then it opens on my computer perfectly fine as the .doc it is supposed to be. But on my phone with k9, when I click on show attachment, all it shows is the winmail.dat file.

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.
