A simple WINMAIL.DAT solutionTry Fentun instead.
Fentun's program understands Microsoft's Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF). Register it as Netscape's helper application for "application/ms-tnef", and you will be able to extract attachments embedded in the TNEF. It should be easy enough to use Fentun with other e-mail programs as well.
I haven't tried it so if you do, please let me know how you get on.

Chris,
...and, to further the battle against blamin geverything on Notes, make sure to point out to your users:
Its a known issue caused by a setting in **Outlook** where the Outlooks email is formated in Exchange rich text.
To fix this issue the Outlook user needs to *deselect* the checkbox labeled: "Always send to this recipient using Microsoft Exchange rich text format" in the Personal Name & Address Book.

For those who prefer a little program instead of an agent,
(I just haven't had time to try the agent yet, as this happens so seldom),
we've had consistently good results with this one: http://www.biblet.freeserve.co.uk/#WMDecode
Or do a search for "WMDecode.exe".

Fentun is a program too and is free. I think perhaps you are thinking of Julian's agent (which is jolly good though).

Hi
Another option to open winmail.dat attachments is http://www.winmaildat.com . If you get those attachments to often, fentun is more comfortable, of course.
Cheers
