I use evolution for my e-mail,  and I sent and receive attachments all day 
long.  Except from *1* person,  from whom all attachments come through as 
a winmail.dat file.

Questions

1 - Is there any way to pull the contents out of one of these funny little 
things?

2 - What exact setting on Outlook makes this go away?  So I can give very 
specific advise.  No I don't even have a copy of outlook, and have in fact 
*never* used it.  I've seen it though,  looks like a knock-off of 
evolution. ;)

"Certainly, we should hold individuals accountable for 
 what they did wrong, and we probably will punish some, 
 although many others will wiggle away, hiding behind the 
 skirts of high-priced lawyers and political connections. 
 But we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that they did 
 what they did because the current system allowed it. In 
 fact, the system encouraged it."
