I have a similar and possibly related question.

mine is not a problem with majordomo but with MS Exchange.  I was hoping 
that someone else has dealt with this on their list.

MS Exchange attaches a UUENCODED file to end of emails that contains the 
Rich Text Formatting.  It is called WINMAIL.DAT.  As far as I can tell 
there is NO way to turn this feature off completely.

I have installed MS Outlook to confirm the problem.  It seems to attach 
this file randomly.

My question is of two parts.

1) Does anyone know of a way to permanently disable this 'feature'?
2) If there a way that the WINMAIL.DAT files could be filtered out and kept 
from being resent to the list?


To help answer Peter Bostrom's question.  I would bet that it is the 
WINMAIL.DAT attachment (UUENCODED) that is causing the messages to end in 
'=20' or '='

I'll try get Outlook to send an email message with the WINMAL.DAT file in 
my next email

Thanks,
Allen Unueco
