I never said it could read a winmail.dat file, only that Eudora CAN read
RTF.

|||||||| Thanks for the information, I have tried this and yes it

||||||| 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.
