Hi,

I received mail which has the following header :

Content-Type: application/ms-tnef; name="winmail.dat"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

And, my OE6 failed to decode the attachment, as there is no paper clip in
the email message. However, Outlook can open the message with attachment.

Is there anyway for OE6 to open the attachment?

Cheers.


Koh

ps. Pls forgive my poor English.

If the mail was sent from Outlook using Outlook's RTF format then Outlook
Express will never read the attachment. Outlook Express does not understand
Outlook's RTF format. Ask the Outlook user to please use Plain Text,
especially when sending attachments.

Please reply in newsgroup. Do NOT send email.

See the MS-TNEF WINMAIL.DAT Attachments section of
Decoding Internet Attachments - A Tutorial
http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_san...de.htm#ms-tnef

There are links to several utilities there can you can use to access the
attachment.

There is also information there on how the sender can avoid the problem
in the first place.
