Tried both suggestions. 1) the apple site blames the fact that the mails are sent in "enriched text" format - we checked, they were sent HTML.... Even so, mails were resent in plain text... Still the same .xls and .xlsx files received as Windmail.dat - they don't offer any help except "to avoid receiving the attachments" when what we want is precisely to receive them!
2) the tnef solution was downloaded and the double clicked from within the downloads menu. Nothing seems to have happened. Nothing opens. Tried Entourage send/recieve again - received mail again... Still Winmail.dat I thought Macs were going to be easy! This is hell! We have deadlines and simple .xls can't even be received properly! That's more than 90% of the business world we can no longer interact with! Ridiculous!
