Subject:winmail.dat-microsoft trying to force us to use outlook
From:Gary E Thaxter

I really dislike microsoft. . .

Every once in a while I get one of these attachments and my Email app
(Eudora Pro) won't read my mailbox.  I have to install microsoft Outlook to
download my mail.  I hate the program and it takes forever to download
everything.  It has to download every piece of mail even if Eudora
downloaded it before it got hung up.  Then I have to try to use the stupid
microsoft program to read the mail.

It backs me up a couple of days and then I have to download everything
again.  I miss messages and I waste time I should be spending working on my
vans or reading my Bentley. . .

If there is some patch or plug in for Eudora that someone knows about that
fixes the problem, please let me know.  In the meantime, if you realize who
you are that are sending the attachments please don't.

Thanks and, !! DOWN WITH microsoft !!
