Many of our users are upset with our webmail not processing the .dat issue. If someone can guide me on what has to be written in surgemail to process this .dat files I will get it developed and will be more than happy to share the source code. We cannot ask the senders of Outlook to fix the problem on their end. There are too many people who are using outlook who send us emails. Our clients argue that yahoo and google are handling .dat files, so we too should.

BG Two things here(one is a pet peeve of mine and is causing some issues here) EDIT the subject line and remove the word SPAM from the subject. The issue here is that Outlook is creating emails in RTF format(rich text format).  I cann't help you convert them, but leaving the offending sender as is will cause them other problems.  I became aware of this issue when sending email to one of my computer parts supplier.  They were complaining that they were getting blank emails. We discovered that even Microsoft(who invented RTF) decided it was evil and was converting RTF to HTML within Exchange on incoming email.  However Microsoft's conversion routines were faulty and was passing blank emails to the receiver.  If Microsoft can not write a bullet proof converter, how do you expect anyone else to? It is in the best interests of the sender to change their Outlook/Outlook Express and to stop using RTF for sending email. Lyle Giese LCR Computer Services, Inc.
