Not right now. It's an artifact of how I store things in the database (insert a "I'd do it differently next time" here). Thanks, Mark

Hi All, I agree that something needs to be added. How about this: - For donations and sponsorship payments, we send out an acknowledgement email with the amount, group name, etc. Very similar to the

Is there a way around the 5 hashtag limit to ant topic? (A search did not produce anything on the subject.) Thanks, Tom

It's a MIME format message segment. I don't think anybody drops it. Outside of Microsoft, there's also not much support for it. Here's some background info from

Mark -- My own provider...tds.net...does not strip it; it arrives in a separate MIME part just as groups.io sent it. I cannot speak to what other providers may do. I'm not so concerned about what

Do we know if any other email service (Gmail/Yahoo/etc) strips these attachments? Thanks, Mark

Hi Mark, I like the combination as sometimes an owner might want to post the reason the topic is locked and item two seems to give us a way to do that in one step. Ken S “You do what you can for

Within a business environment where everyone else is using Outlook then these winmail.dat files can and do serve some purpose. In a mailing list where the client of the recipient is not standardized I

I understand that these are generated when the Sender is using Rich Text Format and the answer would seem to be to switch to HTML or Plain Text.

They are I understand a result of misconfigured Outlook. But they are INTENDED attachments and often the very reason why the post was made in the first place. There are online tools to decode them

Yahoo mail sometimes also has incomprehensible attachments, though they don't seem to be in a separate file. -- Steve Hayes E-mail: shayes@... Blog: https://methodius.blogspot.com/ Web:

Outlook inserts a winmail.dat file in virtually every outgoing message. Only other Outlook clients do anything with it. I suggest stripping these so they do not continue to proliferate as useless

When you update a file by replacing the file, and notify members, there's no place to describe what changes were made to the file itself. I had to add a description of the changes to the description
