Evitare l'invio di allegati Winmail.dat
A volte capita che chi usi Thunderbird o altri programmi, riceva da utenti Outlook messaggi con allegati Winmail.dat, o con allegati ingestibili, perchè chiamti Winmail.dat.
Questo accade perchè Outlook invia il messagio in formato RTF, con gli allegati in formato TNEF, che legge solo lui.
Per evitare che un utente Outlook invii messaggi in questo modo:
To convert all RTF messages to another format when sent to any Internet recipient
1. From the main Outlook window, on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Mail Format tab.
2. Click Internet Format.
3. Under Outlook Rich Text options, select the format you want. The recommended setting is Convert to HTML format because most e-mail programs understand this format. It also preserves text formatting, pictures, and other such features in your message.
Note If you use Convert to plain text format, the message will lose any text formatting (bold, italic, paragraph styles, and so on) that you added.
Ioltre, può accadere che importando vecchi contatti, alcuni abbiano forzato l'opzione di invio in formato RTF:
To convert RTF messages to another format only when sent to a specific Internet recipient
1. If you haven't already done so, add the recipient as a contact.
2. With the contact open, in the E-mail box, double-click the contact's e-mail address.
3. In the Internet Format list, select the format you want to use for messages to this recipient. The recommended setting is Let Outlook decide the best format.
Note If you use Plain text, the message will lose any text formatting (bold, italic, paragraph styles, and so on) that you added.
