why do my emails arrive with a winmail.dat attachment?

[Guest]

Everyone receives our emails with an attachment that is labeled "winmail.dat"
even when we are not attaching any documents. Can we get rid of this
winmail.dat attachment?
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

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.
