Why are my Outlook attachments blocked?

[Guest]

Since installing Service Pack 3 my attachments (Word and PDF documents) are
often not arriving at recipients inbox. Instead they get something called
"winmail.dat" files and often warnings. What's the problem?

When pdf's disapear after you send them or someone receives it as a
winmail.dat file your email account setup for sending format is NOT the only
place you have to turn off Rich Text Format for sending emails. You must
also change the rich text format in the email address properties in your
address book for the person you are sending to. double click on the email
address to bring up the email address properties and change it to let outlook
decide. The address book properties over ride what you choose in your email
account set up.

Wrong. You must change the Internet Format property in the Contact record.
The Address Book doesn't contain any data.
