Way... way too many specs to list.
Can you explain what you mean by 'import'? What are you doing?

I'm a little distracted and lost today :)

Heres my take ~ Email sometimes find that they receive email messages with a strange file attached, called winmail.dat. When they attempt to open this file, either it can't be opened at all, or it contains "garbage" data.

I believe the situation causing this is that I'm using two 2 different email client programs to receive, read, and send email (MS/Outlook & Entourage). Unfortunately it's my understanding that Outlook does not "play nice" with the other email programs all the time. This causes problems, not for the sender of the email, but the recipient, particularly when actual files are attached to messages.

I need help ~ this is a resume file !!

Corrected the problem by altering my MS/Outlook format to Plain Text versus RFT ~ Problem solved !!!
