Attachements Stripped off

Hi,

If a mail with excel sheet attachement is sent to 4 users,
3 users using Outlook Express 6.0 and 1 user using
outlook, only the oulook user is able to receive the
attachment and outlook express users are not able to
receive this attachment.

The secuity settings is already disabled on these users
outlook express, still the problem persists.

Please help !!!!

If messages are sent using the Exchange family of mail programs (includes Windows
Messaging or Outlook97/98/2000+) and the option to use Rich Text Format is selected, it
puts the RTF message (and any attached files) in an attachment called WINMAIL.DAT
(application/ms-tnef). But this attachment is useless to most other mail programs. In
some mail programs (e.g. Outlook Express), the attachment won't even be visible.

The Exchange user can turn off the RTF option for messages to selected recipients. Note
that if sending via an Exchange server, the Exchange server administrator may be
overriding the mail client settings. In this case, the administrator will need to make
changes on the server. In some cases, the Exchange server actually removes the
attachments to some recipients.

For additional information, see the MS-TNEF WINMAIL.DAT Attachments section of
