Outlook 2000. Mail configured as html. Word attachment received as
winmail.dat by AOL recipients. All I could find is RTF issue, but there is
no RTF. Very annoying!
Thanks for the help.

does it work correctly if you use plain text format?

This same problem just started happening to my non-Microsoft reciopients
over the last month. What changed? Selecting Plain Text is NOT an option for
creating newsletters. Especially when Global HTML setting was working just
fine up until about a month ago. This really is frustraing, especially with
Outlook Express being discontinued.

Looks like plain text is working. I am sending many HTML emails such
as newsletters and active links. Having plain text might be a problem.
