Help? OE cannot download a message but not the attachment. It doesn't know there is an attachment or where in the message the attachment starts. How big is the message? If the mail was sent from Outlook using Outlook's RTF format then Outlook Express will never find the attachment. Outlook Express does not understand Outlook's RTF format. Ask the Outlook user to please use Plain Text, especially when sending attachments. While viewing the message press Ctrl-F3. If you find a Content line referencing "ms.tnef" then the message was sent from Outlook. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com Answer in newsgroup. Don't send mail. |

Within the last 3-4 weeks (I noticed but looking back it appears to have
occured arround the 1st of December) the Outlook 2000 on my system started to append all attachments as Winmail.dat. Previously attachments were sent normally. Outlook is installed as Internet Mail Only on a non-corporate pc (no exchange server involved - OS is XP Pro SP-2). Outlook is SP3 9.0.0.6627 & all updates applied. Send mail format is defined as plain text. Have even explecilty specified for recipient in Contact entry "send plain text only". Emails with attachments are sent plain text with the "attachment" appended within the note as Winmail.dat when received by OE mail client. I can't find any more places to check or change nor any other documentation on MS site other than Article ID: 138053 that would apply. Another person using Outlook XP is experiencing the same issues. Another friend says she's seeing the same issue in emails sent to her(she's a OE users) by a person using Outlook on library computer from upstate NY - the attachments come as appended Winmail.dat. Something changed and I don't know what. Only software installations have been IE 7 Beta then the full version when it was released + system updates. But since this appears more wide spread than my PC I'm wondering if a patch hasn't changed something unknowlingly. Any information you could share or suggestions other than what I've done would be appreciated.

If Outlook is set to send in plain text then the only other reason I know of
would be if it is passing through an Exchange server that is changing it to RTF. Again, look at the source code in the received message for "ms-tnef" without the quotes.

Note that if sending via an Exchange server, the Exchange server
administrator may be overriding the mail client settings. In this case, the administrator will need to make changes on the server. In some cases, the Exchange server actually removes the attachments to some recipients.
