From: pui ming Wong on 12 May 2010 06:37 We have experienced the following: User A sent mails with an excelfile (using outlook) to User B and User C User B mailbox is on a server running sendmail 11 and User C on server sendmail 12 User C got the attach okay (mime type as Application/VND.MS-EXCEL) but User B got it wrongly (mime type as Application/MS-TNEF) (User B actually thought it as winmail.dat) So it seems something in sendmail has something to do with it Is there anything I could set in sendmail.cf on that sendmail 11 to overcome this

Turned out, in each of the multiple cases, to be a setting in the sender's addressbook for user B differed from the setting for user C. -- Mike Andrews, W5EGO mikea(a)mikea.ath.cx Tired old sysadmin
