(I had expected a winmail.dat >file). I¹ve read Barry¹s explanation of this problem and then read how you conducted your tests. Can you check for that RFT setting in your recipient¹s contact record? I would guess that if you¹re choosing a recipient from your Global Address List then you won¹t see this issue at all. Barry, is the RFT option still an option in Outlook 2007 and 2010 for Windows? Can it still be enabled by someone not understanding the side effect? -- William Smith -- YouTalk mailing list List information: http://www.entourage.mvps.org/support_options/list.html List moderator: [email protected], [email protected] To unsubscribe: mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
