K9 works perfectly fine with .doc-files. I receive word documents almost every day. However, for some reason, your computer has started to send them out as winmail.dat recently, and THESE files K9 does not understand. Most other email software knows how to handle winmail.dat, and converts them back automatically. Hence you never actually see the winmail.dat-files in the other clients. K9 does not know how to handle them, and just leaves them as is.
Now why your computer sends them like that is impossible for me to know, but the conversion happens in the sender-end, not the receiver-end. /Ola T On 9 June 2015 22:37:13 CEST, Cindy and George Backstein <[email protected]> wrote: >I AM listening but I don't think the COMPLETE picture is always being >remembered. > >I have said MANY times this is from my HOME computer yet the replies >back >from some people say to contact the IT department where I WORK. > >Or that it is some exchange server which I believes has something to do >with >corporation WORK environments too. > >Please explain why K9 used to work fine with .doc files and now they no >longer do if it has nothing to do with K9. > > > >On 6/9/2015 3:25:31 PM, Ola Thoresen ([email protected]) wrote: >> I can guarantee you that k9 does not convert the files into >winmail.dat. >> Your computer sends a winmail.dat and the _other_ mail clients >converts >> this file _back_ to the original .doc. >> K9, however, does not know how to do that. >> >> Please listen to people who actually know how email works when they >try to > >> help you. >> >> On 9 June 2015 22:20:22 CEST, Cindy <[email protected]> wrote: >Seth... >> this is on my home computer going straight out on my cable internet. >There > >> is no IT department involved. >> >> >> I'm not sending winmail.dat files so I don't need a program to >"handle" >> them.
