The people who send these files don't usually have a clue that they are doing so since it is all done by the email program. Asking them won't yeild much information.
It's a setting in LookOut, the send mail format as "rich text". Tell them to change to plain text or html. To filter out this junk at the server, this can be done (if running postfix 1.1.x, for postfix 2.0 see mime_header_checks): /etc/postfix/main.cf body_checks= regexp:/etc/postfix/body_checks cat /etc/postfix/body_checks (it's one line, not wrapped) /(filename|name)="winmail.dat"/ REJECT winmail.dat is a binary file, proprietary Microsoft format, incompatible with other mail-clients. Please respect widely accepted standards, html or text format.
