How do you send a file that can be opened??? It's not a PC-to-Mac problem, it's specifically a problem with a misconfigured Outlook and can affect even recipients who are also using PCs but receiving mail in other clients. Here's an explanation of the problem and what the Outlook user needs to do to fix the problem at the sending end: http://www.gpc.edu/~jbenson/resource/winmail.htm -- <http://designsbymike.net/shop/mac.cgi> Mac and geek T-shirts & gifts <http://designsbymike.net/election.shtml> Election 2008 goods. <http://designsbymike.net/shop/prius.cgi> Prius shirts/bumper stickers <http://designsbymike.net/shop/greet.cgi> Holiday cards with attitude
Hi Scott, Try to send mail in "text only format". This should work. A winmail.dat cannot be converted.
