I can open some, but not all, of the winmail.dat attachments by using TNEF's Enough Carbon. I've tried to open the attachments by using Windows 98 and Explorer on my wife's dark-side machine, but without any success. The sender is using Windows 98 and Outlook (not Outlook Express). She says that she is sending Word or Excel documents. If that's the case, I can't understand why the attachments come through as winmail.dat. Some recipients of the group email can open the attachments. The sender's ISP (iinet) says that because some recipients can open the attachments, the problem must be at my end. Given that I've tried on two different computers using different operating systems and Bill is on a third machine, I don't think that that can be correct. Any suggestions?
