I don't think you understood what I said:

The Senders are sending regular .xls and .xlsx files - everyone on PCs all
over the world are receiving the files a-ok.

The PROBLEM is in our new MacBooks - we're the only ones who can't receive
through Mail or Entourage - and get the Winmail.dat files instead.

If we use Safari and enter our gmail, hotmail or yahoomail application that
way instead of POPing the mail into Entourage we can see the Excel files
clear as day... We can even download them from the internet that way onto
the MacBooks through Safari... Problem is when Mail and Entourage POP bring
the mails down.

So it's NOT that Outlook is sending these Winmail.dat files (no-one else
gets them) it's that Mail and Entourage somehow can't download the files
properly!
