Thank You. It is so obvious(ht is responsible for mail delivery), but yet an easy thing to miss, when not managing Exchange 2007 daily. Hi,

I tracked it down to the .nk2 file on the sending machines. Potentially this file has been carried forward from prior versions of outlook, or brought over from migrated systems (xp - vista upgrades, etc). On the sending machines, you can delete .nk2 files and have them re-populate correctly, or you can have the sender just remove the entries for receivers complaining of the winmail.dat attachments. It came down to this. If the autocomplete entry in the nk2 file is "common name" for example Ted Jones it will send all emails to a receiving ex2k7 server as text with winmail.dat. If you delete the entry (start typing the email address, select the entry you want to delete and press delete key) and then type it in directly it will re-populate the nk2 file with what the ex2k7 server likes - an nk2 file with only the email address in the autocomplete field (no common name) - example: tedjones@something.com. You can view the nk2 files with this utility http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/outlook_nk2_autocomplete.html I tested on two outside sources where they started sending in winmail.dat files after our migration to exchange 2007 (problem did not exist on ex 2003 server).
