Hi, We have the exact same problem. Outside Outlook user send an e-mail with a .xls attachment to two of our internal Outlook users. One gets the file corectly, the other gets the winmail.dat file. The first user forwards his e-mail to the second user and then he can see the corect attachment.

Did you ever find a solution?

Thanks,
Vance

To whom are you talking and about what?
The "forum" that you are posting in leaches off the Microsoft News
servers in order to make it look far busier than it really is. Everyone
who uses the MS News servers sees your post on it's own - we have NO
IDEA what you are talking about and to whom you are talking.

This is not your fault - the fault lies with the forum owners who do not
explain to members that their posts end up on global Usenet newsgroups.
If you MUST continue to post in this "forum" then please at least quote
the post you are replying to, and do NOT change the subject line.

You would be far better off however, using a news reader and subscribing
to these news groups direct.
