trying to change email properties of a contact in outlook 2013 who keeps receiving winmail.dat from one of our guys , trying to get to internet format to change that setting.

I have made the registry change suggested here http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/use-outlooks-contacts-contact-cards/

but though I can get to properties now, I still do not see Internet Format.

I do not even see it when I create a new contact.

what am I missing?

Hi,

Please try the following steps after adding the TurnOnLegacyGALDialog key:

1. Click New Email button to create a new message.

2. Type the user's full email address (xxx@domain.com) in the To field. This is the key step, just manually type the full email address, do not use the auto-complete cache or select from the contact folder.

3. Wait a few minutes until the email address is checked (become underlined). Do not manually conduct a name check.

4. Now, double-click the checked email address, you should be able to see the Internet Format option.

Regards,

Steve Fan
