====Question or Symptom====
People are telling me that the PDF I sent is showing up as "winmail.dat"
instead of the filename I sent? Why is that? I'm using Outlook (or
Outlook Express) as an email client.

====Resolution====
The problem is you've set the mail format to "Microsoft Outlook Rich Text" and
no-one who doesn't use Outlook will be able to read it. To correct this problem:

Outlook Express:
From the "Tools" menu, select "Options".
Press the "Send" Tab
In the "Mail Sending Format" section, select "Plain Text".
Hit the "Apply" button.

Outlook:
From the "Tools" menu, select "Options".
Press the "Mail Format" tab.
In the "Send in this message format" option select "Plain Text".
Press OK button.

The other way this could happen is if when you started a new message you
pulled down the "format" menu and selected "Rich Text". This would only
effect that mail message.
