winmail.dat

[Guest]

When I send an attachment (picture, Word Doc or Excel, Etc) to a friends
hotmail account, they get a winmail.dat attachment and can't open the
picture, word doc or excel file. Any Help... Thanks

Don't use Outlook's format "Rich-Text" for sending mails. The most other
email clients have problems with this format. Use instead "Only-Text" or
"HTML" as email format.
