When I open my IMAP mailbox using outlook it deletes and re-inserts any
emails that have image attachments. The new email on the server is
converted to a winmail.dat attachment format. This causes problems
when I try to read the same file using my PDA since it can not read the
winmail.dat format.
How do I make outlook stop "auto" converting my attachments to
winmail.dat.
I have outlook configured to send email with plain text to prevent this
problem when I send email I was shocked to learn that outlook was
converting my email when I access the mailbox.
Any help would be appreciated. I can't find any reference to this
issue on the web or in these groups. Plenty of mention of this issue
on incoming winmail.dat format or problems getting outgoing email to
stop attaching using winmail.dat but I don't see any mention of this
auto conversion which is happening on my accounts.
I don't have any rules set up. All I am doing is opening my imap
mailbox in Outlook 2003 and what I see are two copies. One which has
already been crossed out like I deleted it and one that is not. When I
look from my PDA I only see the undeleted mail with a winmail.dat
attachment. If I don't open the mailbox with outlook and attach with
my PDA then the mail has the original file.jpg attachment and can be
read. As soon as I open the mailbox with outlook the attachment
becomes unreadable on the PDA again because of the winmail.dat format.
Any help would be appreciated.
