On one of our machines, any attachment coming in is converted to winmail.dat. If someone sends attachments to me and the other machine, I get the attachmentas it was sent (.xls, .doc, and so on) while the other machine receives a winmail.dat file. Don't know why this is happening.

Does the "happy" computer have an add-on such as LookOut! installed, which could be automatically decoding winmail.dat files?
