MAC 2011 email attachments converted to winmail.dat

Hello Guys,

Does anyone encountered the same when MAC 2011 receives email with attachments the attachment becomes winmail.dat? What are things might causing it in the server level. Please advice. 

NOTE: This is not affecting only one user but.

Thanks!

Hi,

The Winmail.dat file is used to preserve Rich Text formatting. Outlook uses it when sending a Rich Text-formatted message. During transport, the content of the message may be changed, preventing the receiving client from being able to read the formatting instructions. In other cases, the receiving client does not use or recognize the winmail.dat file.

To prevent or work around this issue, please refer to this similar thread
