I know that this is normal, because Outlook has it's own format. But how can I decode the file, so that i have the normal picutes (.jpg, etc.) ?

Many, many spam programs will simply delete your mail if it has a winmail.dat attachment. I'd suggest setting up your OE/Outlook to send the pictures in-line.

I know that this is normal, because Outlook has it's own format. But how can I decode the file, so that i have the normal picutes (.jpg, etc.) ? The format is called TNEF (Transport-Neutral Encapsulation Format). It is publically documented by Microsoft: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/mapi/html/_mapi1book_transport_neutral_encapsulation_format_tnef_.asp Indy developers are already working on adding TNEF support to Indy 10.

Gambit Back to top Kevin Davidson Guest Posted: Wed Dec 22, 2004 9:14 pm    Post subject: Re: Winmail.dat The setting in Outlook that is causing the problem is sending in "Rich Text" (RTF) format (as opposed to plain text or HTML). The Microsoft web site tells people that RTF emails are only for internal company correspondence and should NOT be used for sending emails over the Internet. It can be difficult sometimes to find all the places where RTF format is specified. It can be set on an individual person in the Address Book as well as an overall default. Exactly where it is set depends on the version of Outlook. In Outlook 2003, the default format is set in Tools | Options | Mail Format.

There is now an Indy 10 TIdCoderTNEF. Not finished, but among all the other items it successfully deals with, it handles the compressed-RTF that Microsoft uses for the "message" (it adds it as a TIdText message part).
