Hi JWorley,

This is not a TB problem but a problem at the Outlook end. Their
address book *must* show you as someone unable to read MS Enriched
messages otherwise attachments will come through legible only by
another Outlook / Exchange / MSIM user.
The usual format for these PITA messages is MS-TNEF. There is a
decoder available for this format (mentioned recently in a thread
specifically about MS-TNEF - check the TBUDL/TBBETA archive) although
I was unable to access the link given.
