Microsoft Outlook - How To Avoid Sending Winmail - Dat File
dat attachments are included in received e‐mail messages in Outlook
When you use Microsoft Outlook to send messages through the Internet with attachments and you use the Microsoft Outlook Rich Text
format, some recipients report that the message includes an additional file called the Winmail.dat file. The Winmail.dat file is usually very
small, but you cannot open it in the message. The original message attachment is not always separate from the Winmail.dat file attachment,
and may be included in the Winmail.dat file attachment.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the Winmail.dat file is used to preserve formatting that the sending client includes in the message, but the
receiving client does not recognize the Winmail.dat file. In Outlook, the Winmail.dat file includes Rich Text Formatting (RTF) instructions. This
type of formatting is used with the Microsoft Outlook Rich Text format and when you use Microsoft Word as your e‐mail editor.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, use the plain text format. To do this:
1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click Mail Format.
2. In Compose in this message format, click to select Plain Text, and then click OK.
NOTE: To send to certain recipients that use RTF format and others recipients that use plain text format, you must set the option for the
recipient in either the Personal Address Book or the recipient's contact record.
Use the following steps to remove the RTF format from the recipient attribute in the Personal Address Book:
1. On the Tools menu, click Address Book.
2. In Show Names From, click the Personal Address Book.
3. Select the addressee that you want to set as plain text, and then click Properties on the File menu.
4. In the SMTP‐General tab, click to clear the Always send to this recipient in Microsoft Exchange rich text format check box, and then click
OK.
Use the following steps to set plain text in the recipient's contact record:
1. Open the recipient's record in the Contacts folder.
2. Double‐click the recipient's e‐mail address.
3. In the E‐Mail Properties dialog box, click Send Plain Text only under Internet Format.
Za extracting attachments from file winmail.dat use program Winmail Reader which can be downloaded from https://www.winmaildat.com/
Prilozi winmail.dat su uključeni u primljene poruke e‐pošte u programu Outlook
Kada koristite Microsoft Outlook za slanje poruka putem Interneta sa prilozima i koristite Microsoft Outlook format obogaćenog teksta (RTF),
neki primaoci prijavljuju da poruka sadrži dodatnu datoteku koja se naziva datoteka Winmail.dat. Datoteka Winmail.dat je obično vrlo mala, ali
je ne možete otvoriti u poruci. Originalni prilog poruke nije uvek odvojen od priloga datoteke Winmail.dat i može biti uključen u prilog
datoteke Winmail.dat.
UZROK
Do ovog problema dolazi zato što se datoteka Winmail.dat koristi za očuvanje oblikovanja koje klijent za slanje uključuje u poruku, ali klijent
primalac ne prepoznaje datoteku Winmail.dat. U programu Outlook datoteka Winmail.dat sadrži uputstva za oblikovanje obogaćenog teksta
(RTF). Ova vrsta oblikovanja se koristi sa formatom Microsoft Outlook Rich Text i kada koristite Microsoft Word kao uređivač e‐pošte.
REŠENjE
Da biste rešili ovaj problem, koristite format običnog teksta. Da uradi ovo:
1. U meniju Tools kliknite na dugme Options, a zatim na Mail Format.
2. U Compose in this message format, kliknite da izaberete Plain Text, a zatim pritisnite OK.
NAPOMENA: Da biste slali određenim primaocima koji koriste format RTF i drugim primaocima koji koriste format običnog teksta, morate
postaviti opciju za primaoca u ličnom adresaru ili u zapisu o primaocu.
Pomoću sledećih koraka uklonite RTF format iz atributa primaoca u ličnom adresaru:
1. U meniju Tools kliknite na Address Book.
2. U odeljku Show Names From kliknite na Personal Address Book.
3. Izaberite primaoca koji želite da postavite kao običan tekst, a zatim kliknite na Properties u meniju File.
4. Na kartici SMTP‐General potvrdite izbor u polju za potvrdu Always send to this recipient in Microsoft Exchange rich text format, a zatim
kliknite na dugme OK.
Koristite sledeće korake za postavljanje običnog teksta u zapis primaoca o kontaktu:
1. Otvorite zapis primaoca u fascikli Contacts.
2. Dvaput kliknite na e‐adresu primaoca.
3. U dijalogu E‐Mail Properties kliknite na Send Plain Text only u okviru Internet Format.
