Hi Seth,the info you gave about winmail.dat has to do with the email being a rich text formatted message. That is not what I am talking about. I am using html formatted message and attaching a word document (.doc) to the html formatted email. So the winmail.dat file your link is referring to has nothing to do with the word document attachment that should be there. It stays a word document when viewing the email out on Mediacom's web mail interface. It stays a word document attachment when coming into my computer. However, on my phone using k9 the word document file is no longer there and in it's place is a winmail.dat file. K9 used to be able to view a word document file several months ago.
Try reading this article: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2007-word/word-doc-attachmentsbecome-winmaildat/5366cdd7-b966-48f8-9498-e85329dacab5It's a little old but also seems to cover word documents showing up as winmail.dat files.
The bottom line is that until you change the way you are sending your e-mail, it's going to be a problem. Part of the problem may be that by e-mailing yourself, Outlook is assuming you'll be able to read the proprietary format and does not take into account reading it on third party applications.
I know you really want this to be something K-9 can do, but it can't. It's not an issue with receiving word documents. It's an issue with sending them.
I'm going to attach a word document generated in Google Docs. Let's see what happens.
