How to prevent winmail.dat from being sent with message?
 

I'm using MAPI to send an email with my Outlook add-in. Sometimes the
emails are sent with a winmail.dat attachment when sending through an
Exchange server. I'm trying to figure out how to prevent this from within
my add-in? I've read this:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138053

but in my case I'm adding the recipients dynamically, and they aren't in any
address book. I also don't have control over how they've configured their
Internet Mail Connector (IMC).

I'm wondering if any of these will help me?:

PR_SEND_INTERNET_ENCODING
PR_SEND_RICH_INFO

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

Did you try the different address format suggested?

How to prevent winmail.dat from being sent with message?
 

Most likely cause is a user property added to the message.
Add the following named property (known as UseTnef) and set it to false:

{00062008-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}, 0x8582, PT_BOOLEAN

Hi Sue,

I believe I'm already using the "One-Off Addressing" format they suggested.

I'm setting the recipient properties like this:

PR_EMAIL_ADDRESS :
PR_DISPLAY_NAME :
PR_RECIPIENT_TYPE : MAPI_TO
PR_ADDRTYPE : SMTP

Does that seem right to you, for the "SMTP address" format? I believe that
the other format of "[SMTP:SMTP address]" would be something like this:

PR_EMAIL_ADDRESS : ]

Thanks,
Mark

Thanks Dmitry. I'll try this. I have to wait for help from the customer
who is experiencing this problem to test it out.

And UseTnef ({00062008-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}, 0x8582, PT_BOOLEAN)
will override them both.

How to prevent winmail.dat from being sent with message?
 

Thanks Henry/Dmitry. I tried setting UseTnef to false, but it didn't fix
the problem (winmail.dat was still sent). I didn't set UseTnef as a "named
property", but instead used the property tag (PT_BOOLEAN and 0x80DD), as
found through OutlookSpy. Afterwards, I did verify that the property was
set okay, so I think I accomplished getting the right propert set. Is this
okay? Here is my code:

int nFields;
SPropValue *pNewProps = NULL;
LPSPropValue pProp = NULL;

nFields = 1;
MAPIAllocateBuffer((nFields * sizeof(SPropValue)), (LPVOID*)&pNewProps));
ZeroMemory(pNewProps, nFields * sizeof(SPropValue));

pProp = &pNewProps[0];
pProp-ulPropTag = PROP_TAG( PT_BOOLEAN, 0x80DD ); // UseTNEF
pProp-Value.b = 0;

((LPMAPIPROP)(IUnknown*)pMAPIMessage)-SetProps(nFields, pNewProps, NULL);

My actual code had error checking, but I took it out for easier reading
here. The code did execute without errors.

Next I'll try setting both UseTNEF to false, and also on the recipient
setting PR_SEND_RICH_INFO = FALSE to see if that helps. I'll post the
results here...

Thanks,
Mark

You should never hardcode the values of the named prop tags - use
GetIDsFromNames.

FYI... This fixed my problem, thank you. I ended up setting both UseTNEF
to false, and also on the recipient setting PR_SEND_RICH_INFO to false also.
No more winmail.dat...
