I have created 12 distribution lists for a client and when they were received, they came through as a winmail.dat file on her end and on my end when I cc'd myself.

My message to my client was sent from Outlook where I dragged the distribution lists to it, watched them attach and sent the message off. The end user, who only uses Outlook, pulled her mail but when she got my message, all that was attached was a winmail.dat file. There were no distribution lists for her. For my personal mail, I use Eudora, and always have an issue with people who use Outlook and attach items. They always come through to me (where I open my mail in Eudora) as a winmail.dat file instead of the actual file. However, I didn't expect this when using Outlook to send the distribution lists to another user who only uses Outlook.

Is there something in a setting that fixes this issue? I tried sending the distribution lists saved as text files also, and they too arrived to her as a winmail.dat file.



I must get these distribution lists to her where she can drag them to her contacts tab. Any suggestions to fix this winmail.dat issue and/or how to get the intact distribution lists to her as the proper attachement?

Thanks in advance!
