Attachments replaced with winmail.dat

[JamesL]

I have been having some troubles with attachments lately. I have a file
either as a .DOC word document or zipped to .ZIP. I send that file to a
group of persons. They are using Lotus Notes. Some of them receive the
file without trouble. Some do not receive the file. It is replaced with a
file called winmail.dat that does not contain the original info. I have
tried sending the same file though my ISP's webmail and they all receive it
fine. If I send the file from outlook using Plain Text instead of Rich Text
or HTML they all receive it fine.

What's the scoop? Anyone?

You answered your own question - send using Plain Text.
