Recipent gets email attachmenst with .dat extension

[Dominic]

Hi,

Recently on one of the machines in the office when the
user sends emails with attachments the recipient gets the
email message but the attachment has a .dat extension
instead of .doc or .zip or .xls etc... (The attachment has
the correct file name but wrong file extension) It seems
to be an intermittent problem. There are 6 machines with
the same specs and only one of those machines has that
problem and it started about 2 weeks ago.
What can I do to rectify this problem?

Regards,
Dominic

Ensure the message is not being sent in RTF format.

Outlook was set to RTF format but I changed it back to
text and I'm still getting the same problem.

What else can I do??

Check to make sure the recipient isn't set to receive in RTF.
