Nuh- No crash on 20031205 but I'm on my old NT box.<SNIP>
What are those winmail.dat attachments anyway? Are they created from drag and drop?
winmail.dat attachments come from outlook whose composition format is selected to rich text. It's not RTF nor HTML, rather some silly proprietary text formatting (from M$....no I don't believe it!!). I can't remember the exact details but basically the message and any attachments get's put together into this packet of tnef (what M$ called it at the MIME level) which gets sent as well as the message in plain text. The silly thing is that this means any attachments are not available to end users who cannot read the M$ rich text format (which includes outlook express users). They just see a winmail.dat attachment. It is possible to use various freely available utilities to decode tnef packets.
