Some recipients of my email tell me that they are receiving several
attachments that I have not sent. I'm using Word as my email editor and I
suspect it to be the culprit. What can I do about this?

Also, which group should I be posting this stuff to. Rifleman recently
requested that I 'cross post' instead of posting twice to two different
groups and I'm guessing that cross posting is what I'm doing now. Any
comments on how and where to place questions such as this will be warmly
received.

Incidently, I'm running Outlook 2002 SP2. Thanks.

Are these messages you *did* send, even without attachments? What are the
attachments? If the recipients are getting 'winmail.dat', change your
message format from Rich Text to either Plain Text or HTML.

You did it right ;-)

Crossposting = posting once to several newsgroups within a single message.
This is not a Bad Thing (presuming the list of groups posted to is small,
and all the groups are truly relevant to your question)

Multiposting = posting separate, identical posts to several newsgroups. This
is a Bad Thing.

These are messages that I sent without attachments in HTML. I don't know
what the attachments are but I think I can find out. When I forwarded the
same message to a freebee online account that I have access to, I received
no attachments. I've asked the person who received them to tell me what
they were called.

Thanks.
