I hate winmail.dat
When will the Outlook team hire some even semi-intelligent people to fix fundamental problems like winmail.dat?
Stop adding eye candy and make the product work!
Acknowledge that it’s a bug – don’t reply to my emails saying that my settings are wrong when I clearly just sent you screenshots demonstraing that they are what you recommended!
Don’t tell me to use plain text email as a “fix”!
Want to know what the bug is? Here’s over 572,000 pages that explain it: http://www.google.com/search?q=winmail.dat
Hear! Hear!
How much of my life have I wasted answering the question “What program do I use to open your winmail.dat attachment?”

As long as the outlook team is working on eye candy you have to help yourself with tools like fentun or http://www.winmaildat.com.
