Sending Attachments From Outlook 98 in Win XP

[Tennessee Tom]

When I send an email from Outlook 98 with a Word
attachment from my home computer which is running WinXP
to my office computer, the attachment arrives as a .dat
file and is garbage. Is Outlook 98 not compatible enough
with WinXP to send attachments?

What mail program are you using at work? If it's not Outlook (and Outlook
Express is considered "not" Outlook!), you will need to make sure you send
the message in HTML or Plain Text format, not Rich Text format.
