I have a dilemma at work. Two of the people sitting next to me use Netscape Communicator 4.76. Netscape is the company standard. I work as a tester in the software development group at our company. Our department is mainly using MS based tools and is primarily using Outlook.
The problem is when my manager sends out messages with images using Outlook, one of my coworkers can view them, the other get's a winmail.dat - application/ms-tnef file attachment. All my research on the net says to either download Fentun to read the attachments or to tell the Outlook user to stop sending messages using the proprietary MS format. There has to be another solution since one views the messages fine without any attachments showing up. The computers are both running Win2K and have Office 97. The only major difference was that the functional user had IE6/Outlook Express 6 while the non-functional user had IE5/Outlook Express 5. Thinking that somehow Outlook Express was acting as a plugin to view the message, I upgraded the other user to IE6/OE6. This didn't help. In the Netscape Properties, I can't find the DAT extension or application/ms-tnef MIME type on either of the machines. When I try creating a new MIME type, it says the DAT extension is already defined. I'd like to know how the one user is working so I can duplicate it on the other machine. Thanks, Joe
