RE: [LegacyUG] Embracing Change
C.G. Me, too. I have the LUG set for Plain text only even though I disagree with the policy. So, if my email had an ad in it, it was because I was replying to some previous message. It wouldn't have originated with me. Thanks for the help, but everything the article recommended, I already had set. So, I wouldn't know why the attachment was still sent unless I replied to an HTML message or something and didn't think to make sure it went Plain text. But, either way, I have LUG set for Plain Text only and have for quite sometime. Paul Abell What a glorious world God Almighty has given us.

Re: [LegacyUG] Embracing Change
Phil, It's not a virus but a problem with the way the email was sent in the first place. It only occurs with senders who use Outlook and who have their Outlook set in certain ways. The sort answer is that winmail.dat contains formatting information. My guess is that you aren't using Outlook and therefore the formatting options came in what is probably an unreadable winmail.dat file for you. For more, google winmail.dat, but here's a good summary. http://www.gpc.edu/~jbenson/resource/winmail.htm http://www.gpc.edu/%7Ejbenson/resource/winmail.htm Jackie *snipped message* Phil Hawkins wrote: When CQ Quimet sent his message on the above topic it came with an attachement WINMAIL.DAT So did Paul Abel's response.
