818234 2009-10-08 23:03:00 Hi,

Workaround needed. Current setup outlook email address (user@company.com) gets forwarded to (useriphone@company.com) so I can read on my iphone. This is a corporate environment using mdaemon (not exchange).

Problem is that when people send in html, rtf attachments get replaced with winmail.dat. Is there a workaround to resolve this issue? Currently only some attachments reach me intact...

Cheers

Already actioned that but without the desired effect.

Changed (user@company.com) address to always send in plain text so when it hits (useriphone@company.com) it will work but am still receiving the dreaded winmail.dat

818237 2009-10-09 02:32:00 What about forwarding to a gmail account and using that to push emails to the iPhone? CYaBro (73)
