I have a client machine with outlook 2003 (exchange 2007), when ever he sends an externail email to a few clients with lotes notes, they receive the emails as winmail.dat, what could be the problem?

here is what I have tried, in exchange 2007, in the contact properties, "USE MAPI rich text format is set to Never"

In outlook client I have tried rich text,html etc..

thanks for your help.

Hi,

This can be configured per "object" in the address-book, there are two ways to do this:

Step 1:

Double-click on the Mail and Fax icon in Control Panel.

Click on the Services tab, and select Internet Mail from the list.

If Internet Mail is not listed, click Add to add this service.

Click Properties, and then Message Format.

Turn off the option that reads Use MIME when sending messages.

Click OK and then OK again.
Step 2:

Double-click on the name of each recipient in your Address Book.

Turn off the option that reads Always send to this recipient in Microsoft rich-text format.

This option needs to be set for each recipient of a message - if even one has this turned on, all recipients will still get the attachment.
