Problem Sending Attachments

Outlook511
When sending attachments via IMAP the recipient is confronted with a renamed

file named winmail.dat that is unopenable due to the "dat" extension. Anyone

know why this is and how to stop it? In other words how to acheive WISIWTG

(what I sent is what they get).

Re:Problem Sending Attachments

Normally WinMail.DAT attachments are the result of sending mail in Rich Text

Format. Is that the format you're using?
