winmail.dat attachments even when sent Plain Text

I'm getting complaints from someone outside our business about how our
MS Word attachments arrive to him as "winmail.dat" which he can't do
anything with.

Yes, I've tried sending the message as Plain Text, instead of Outlook
RTF.
He still gets a winmail.dat file.

We are using Outlook 98 as our client in Corporate/Workgroup mode,
connecting to Exchange 2000 server that's part of an AD. Recipient is
recieving mail on an AIX box and running Eudora as his email client.

Contrary to what every Knowledgebase article and notes here say,
sending the message as Plain Text is NOT correcting this problem.

Any OTHER ideas?

TIA,
Barb
