Hi all
Thanks to Daniel Say and other people for their input. This is the source of
the problem:
* Outlook sends the message and, under certain conditions (if I reply, for
instance, to an existing e-mail) it adds Winmail.dat as a Uuencoded piece of
data to RTF the plain text, whether I want it or not (I don't); I have
unticked every box I could, but it makes no nevermind
* It presumes another Outlook reader will receive the e-mail
* Most of you DON'T use Outlook, so it appears as garbage
It's almost unpreventable due to MS and the multitude of readers out there
..... so I will simply initiate a clean, non-RTF new mail every time to the
group, rather than reply.
Whew!!!!!!
