I am sending a word document as an attached file in
Outlook 2000 - - -when the person receives the file the
attachemnt is a webmail.dat file??? Any clues as to why
this is happening???

I was having issues in Outlook express ( would try to
delete some sent email and in the process it would freeze
up the computer) so switched to Outlook hoping that would
cure my ills.

Also as an aside have begun to experience problems with
digrag ( doesn't!!!/ can't) and cd burner giver error
messageof Write error - buffer underrun occurred.

Change the format of your outgoing messages to HTML or
Plain Text. This happens when you select RTF. It can
also happen if you're sending through an Exchange
server. You might have to ask your sys admin.

If recipients of your messages receive an attachment
called winmail.dat, you sent messages to them that
included Microsoft Exchange Rich Text formatting, such as
bold or italic text, but the recipients do not use an e-
mail program that can read this format.

To select a message format do the following:

On the Tools menu, click Options.
On the Mail Format tab, under Message format, in the
Compose in this message format list, click HTML or Plain
Text.
