Can Evolution handle winmail.dat attachments from Microsoft mailers such as: Outlook97, Outlook98 and Outlook2000+ ?
I have attached the description of the issue that most other mail programs have with this type of an attachment. > Mail programs in the Microsoft Exchange family, which includes Windows > Messaging, Outlook97, Outlook98 and Outlook2000+, will include a TNEF > (Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format) attachment named WINMAIL.DAT > when the sender selects, or defaults to, RTF (Rich Text Format). If the > sender is using MIME formatting, this attachment will have Content-Type: > application/ms-tnef. > > The TNEF attachment includes a Rich Text Format (e.g. bold, underline, > fonts) version of the plain text message. If the sender has included any > attachments (e.g. pictures, spreadsheets, programs), they will be > embedded within the TNEF attachment and not as separate attachments. > > Most other mail programs do not know how to handle the TNEF attachments > and so Exchange family users should avoid using RTF unless they know > that the recipient has a compatible program. The sender can control the > use of RTF on a recipient by recipient basis. However, if sending via a > Microsoft Exchange server, the server can override the sender's > settings. In this case the Exchange administrator will need to make > changes on the server. > Thank you in advance _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
