Are you being intentionally obtuse?

| | How does Eudora use winmail.dat?
| | All I see when receiving such a message is a winmail.dat file in
| Eudora's

| | Can Eudora open the winmail.dat file?
| | If so, how?

| | || Robert,
| | ||
| | || Thanks for the information, I have tried this and yes it
| | || works, however, I wish to use the tool bar of "Rich Text
| | || Format". Is there no other way to resolve this issue?
| | ||

| | | No there's not, because what is happening is that the recipients
who
| | | are seeing the winmail.dat attachment are not using Outlook.
Only
| | | Outlook users can read RTF mail - it's a Microsoft standard
which
is
| | | not used by non-Microsoft mail clients.
