ENVIRO: Exchange 2000, Windows 2000 SP3, Using Exchange Client on a mix of NT/2000 machines.
Some of our users have been complaining recently that when they send to some addresses the attachments appear as winmail.dat instead of the true attachment, we found this to be because the mail client was sending as Microsoft Exchange Rich Text Format. Exchange 2000 Server is set up too use the local client settings. So we cannot see and issue at that end.

Does anyone know how this could of happened. Please note we use Exchange Client not OUTLOOK>
