Subject: RE: [Sndbox] music.datI am using the HTML version. It's only on certain messages or replies from others. I never use stationary when posting to truthpost b/c well, you know how dino is about stuff like that. The attachment, which I cant see when sending, is like 451k and I cant find it anywhere. Maybe I'll start changing it to plain text when replying over there. Thats the only group I have a problem with this in and its only when I reply or forward not when I have a new message.But at least for the moment my outlook has quit shutting down on me everytime I reply. That was getting really annoying....but that might have had something to do with the fact that I had over 4000 emails in my deleted folder and 2000 in my sent messages folder. I emptied those and rebooted and for now it seems to be working.-----Original Message-----

Subject: [Sndbox] music.datMusic.dat is a proprietary storage method for audio files. It doesn't explain why it is being attached to email though, unless the registry is corrupted. Using Outlook often produces a .dat file especially when using the "rich text" format instead of HTML. It's normally an extremely small file that is part of the MS encoding for rich text.It's possible that you are using a background music file in your stationary that is being converted to a .dat file because Rich Text doesn't normally facilitate background music. Check your options to be sure you are sending in HTML or Plain Text. Using Rich Text is asking for heartache.Charles Mims
