Re: Winmail.dat problem with SBS 2003..and yes i have read the other wiinmail posts

Trevor,
two ideas:

- Antivirus Software is blocking TNEF
- user is sending to an Active Directory contact -> Exchange Advanced "User
Mapi Richtext Format" (edit Contact Object in AD)

from the net: What is TNEF
Those attachments contain Microsoft Exchange's rich text information,
encoding attributes of the message such as boldface, underlining, fonts, and
colors. Exchange/Internet Mail puts these attributes into an attachment so
that they can appear to other Exchange users on the Internet. The problem
arises when people not using Exchange receive these attachments: instead of
seeing a formatted message, they see a big chunk of UUENCODE data named
WINMAIL.DAT, or a section application/ms-tnef if you're using MIME (which is
what Communicator uses). These attachments contain only formatting and are
not important to the message itself.

For communicating with users of other clients, Exchange contains an option
to suppress sending rich text information when mailing them. You may want to
contact the person who sends these attachments, and ask them to turn these
off for messages sent to you. To do this, they need to double-click on your
address and uncheck the box labelled "Send to this recipient in Microsoft
rich text format."

Ok, so I have read thru all the winmail.dat posts in this group and the
outlook group, problem is most of them are geared towards ex 5.5. Well
I have sbs 2003 and I have one user in my entire company that can not
send a excell spread*** to one recp. without outlook 2003 i
converting into a winmail.dat. I have tryed everyhting I can think of.
I reinstalled outlook. I have sett all the options to send as plain
text globally and for that contact that gets the winmail.dat files. I
have been working on this for a while, but I do believe I checked the
setting on exchange to allow the user to choose which format to send
in, but I can't seem to find the setting again, I tryed to find info
but everything tells me its in the imc but the imc is not in 2003, so
anyone know where to look for this setting in 2003 ? I am alomst
positive that I already checked this setting. But since this only
happens to one user I am assuming it has to be something with outlook,
but I have reinstalled and matched all settings from another users
outlook that works ? Any Ideas ?

Trevor
