I have received from one sender separate emails with individual .pdf
and .xls files as attachments via my Hotmail account.

If I open the messages via a web browser interface or Outlook 2003 on
my PC the attachments are as expected in the .pdf or .xls format,
however on my Mac using Entourage 2004, which is up to date with
software updates, they appear all as winmail.dat.

I have tried saving the files and changing the file type to .pdf
or .xls manually and then opening with the correct program but the
files are corrupt.

Ideas, as I am hoping to ditch the PC in the near future and don't
really won't to have to switch to a browser in such cases and of
course this does not happen with all senders.
