Todd -- I've removed your comment so that the verbatim email address you've posted doesn't get added to all the email address collection that undoubtedly gets run against this site. Hopefully I got it in time or you're guaranteed for a life of spam!!

Here was your post:
I have a very techincal question that no one has been able to answer yet. I do not run microsoft exchange, I have outlook 2003. When I add someone from my contacts to an email and sent it, the email ends up with a winmail.dat file. If I type in the address it doesnt. How do I stop this from happeing? Aside from going to mail format and turning it to plain text. I still want to send emails in HTML format? Why does this computer do this and my desktop doesnt? Please help, please reply to toddhustins-at-hotmail.com.

My thoughts on this:
Outlook 2003 contacts normally have a setting associated with them called "Internet format" with a default value of "Let Outlook decide the best sending format". If you pull up properties of a contact and then doubleclick on the SMTP email address you've defined, you'll see this value at the bottom of the dialog box. So, obviously, you can try to override it here, although I don't know that you can force HTML at that level.

A second place it is set is global to the Outlook settings. I believe if you go to Tools->Options->Mail Format and then click the "Internet Format" button, the "Outlook Rich Text Options" setting in the middle of the dialog box defaults to "Convert to HTML format". If that's not set this way, try it. If it is set this way, maybe try one of the other setttings to see if it changes the behavior. All of my Outlook profiles are set to Exchange servers, so I'm not sure how that changes things. When you say you don't use Exchange Server, what server are you using? POP3/SMTP?
