As well you should.

You have to configure that in the MAPI program itself (usually Outlook or
Outlook Express).  The Simple MAPI API is merely an access point into those
programs, and they are performing the actual sending as if you had sent the
message manually through their own GUIs.

Please go to Microsoft's Support website and search for "winmail.dat".  You
will find all kinds of information about it, including how to disable it.
