yes, but they're sending them with Outlook having the "Send to this recipient in Microsoft rich text format" option selected. > > 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. And that is because they're sending in a stupid, somewhat proprietary MS format.

So, when you downloaded TNEF's Enough, did you install it on your Mac? It should show up as 'TNEF2.2.zip', double clicking on that will open the zip file and the TNEF application will appear in the same folder as the zip file. Drag the TNEF app to the Applications folder, then double click it, tell us what happens. -- "Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of truth and knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods."
