What's the deal with this? Sometimes when an Outlook user emails me a Word, PDF, or Excel file, it comes in as a "winmail.dat" file and I can't view it on my BlackBerry.
The attachments work just fine viewing on a computer, but not with the BlackBerry. This is lame. I realize that it might be with how Outlook is encoding the emails, but where I can view them just fine on a PC I see this as a RIM problem.
I am assuming you have outlook on your pc. Usually this winmail.dat issue is caused by the sender using outlook sends an attachment in RTF or HTML formats.

I do, but shoot- I can't be concerned with whether or not the person on the other end sending me something is using Outlook with RTF or HTML enabled. That's a crap shoot. Why can't RIM fix it so that our phones can view attachments from perhaps the most common email client in use around the globe?
Also, I can view these attachments just fine when checking with my Gmail account with a web browser outside of Outlook.
