Thank You for the welcome, Harsha.

I have not seen the attachment that is being sent out, so I am including a

few "fixes" that I found on the web.

===================

PROBLEM: Strange Microsoft Exchange/Outlook Attachments of type

"application/ms-tnef"

Are you receiving messages with short, strange, unreadable attachments at

their end? Are these messages originating from someone who used Microsoft

Exchange or Microsoft Outlook for their e-mail? If so, the message is

arriving in "Microsoft RTF format", and only the sender can take steps to

correct the situation.

SOLUTION:

In order to fix the problem, the source of the request for MS RTF must be

located. The source could be in the user's address book, or in the Global

Address book. In all cases, you will be looking for a flag which is set

like this:

[X] Always Send to this recipient in Microsoft Exchange Rich Text Format (RTF)

and turn it off by unchecking it. To find this flag, the sender must

double-click on the recipient's name in the address book they use to send

messages to you. If the name is located in a Personal Address Book, the

sender can fix this. If the name comes from the Global Address Book, only

the Exchange Administrator can make this change.

====================

Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange

Go to the Tools menu and select Service. Highlight the Internet Mail option

from the list and click the Properties button. Then click the Message

Format button. Make sure that the "Use MIME when sending messages" is NOT

checked. If it is, remove the check from the box. then press the OK button

to save.

===================

Outlook Express

Tools

- Options

- "Send" tab

Make sure that both settings there are to "Plain Text" (not HTML)

- Within Settings:

Set Message format as MIME, set "Encode text using:" to None.

Set Automatically wrap text at 70, and > is used to indent original text.

====================

Outlook 98

- Tools

- Options

- "Mail Format" tab

"Message Format" - select either Microsoft Word or Plain Text

* (do not select RTF format or HTML format)
