Greetings all
I'm trying to use the simple mapi api to send attachments, email, etc.

No matter what attachments I send, i get a winmail.dat (the rtf formating
junk)file when viewing with a non-microsoft email program (aol, hotmail,etc)

Is there a way to change the file encoding that simple mapi sends out?:

Alot of people have had these same problems, but i've never seen a solution?

Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
CurtC
