Hi guys,
We're currently using Exchange Server 2007 as our mail server & Outlook 2007 / Outlook Web Access 2007 as our email client.
Occasionally, one of users will receive an email from an external user with an attachment as a winmail.dat file. The winmail.dat files is (apparently) created when an email is created using Outlook as the email client. The file allows Outlook users to send Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF) information along with the email so that it retains the look and feel of the document with formatting, fonts and colors when its received by another Microsoft Outlook user.
So why would our users, who are all using Outlook receiving winmail.dat files rather then the original attachments. We know that the files are legitimate & that they contain no virus/trojens.
Any help would be appreciated.
