Sending attachments

[Jolyon]

When I send attachments the poeple at the other end
cannot open them. The files seem to have the ending .dat
rather than .doc Can anybody help me as to why? It
doesn't seem to happen alll the time but seems to be
happening more lately. Thank you

Make sure you use HTML or Plain Text format when sending messages to
users of any other e-mail client besides Outlook. Don't use Rich Text
format, which is proprietary to Outlook and will cause problems for
other recipients, one of which is that they won't get your
attachments -- instead they'll get one of those .dat files.
