If it is a major honcho and they need the included information ASAP (don't they always?), I may dig out a winmail.dat decoder and extract the contents for them. Then I uninstall the decoder. I don't get the question often, every couple years or so. _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.roaringpenguin.com MIMEDefang mailing list [email protected] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
