Thanks Michael.  Windows Mail was a step back from OE and Live Mail is yet to 
catch up it seems.

Which is a shame as it is commonly used and "looks" good.

TNEF/RTF has been a public format for a long time. OE implemented it, so did 
PMail, so did that client from Qualcomm that I'm blanking on at the moment.

Couldn't tell you why Live Mail chose not to, unless it was simply easier to 
only support text and html.

Subject: Mail Enabled Contacts - MAPI Rich Txt Format

I've recently come across an issue where messages sent with attachments to mail 
enabled contacts are converted to winmail.dat.  This results in some recipients 
not being able to see the attachment at all.  In this case the Recipient is 
using Windows Live Mail.  We have a lot of mail enabled contacts using all 
sorts of email clients.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841668 discusses the solution.

What I'm curious about is if I should be changing the Default for the MAPI Rich 
Text Formatting to be "Never" (haven't looked it up yet but I'll assume this 
can be done).

I'm a bit perplexed as to why it isn't disabled by default.  Not everyone has 
Outlook.

James.
