Until yesterday I could email a jpg from my Windows 10 Outlook account on my laptop and open it on my tpg account on my iPhone. It s now attaching them as winmail.dat files. Why is this happening and how does it get fixed.

Hi @aduke . If you login to Post Office (webmail) after sending the attachment, how is the attachment shown in the Inbox? If it's a jpeg, problem in iphone. If it's a dat file, problem in Windows end.

If the attachment is sent by Outlook, how does it appear in Outlook's Sent folder and Inbox?

Thanks

 

If I login to Post Office (webmail) after sending the attachment,  the attachment shown in the Inbox  is a dat file.

If I  send the attachment by Outlook,  it appears in Outlook's Sent folder and Inbox as jpg

@aduke . Do a Google search on: outlook attachment dat file

There's Outlook settings affecting attachments.

Thank you very much. All settings were HTML already. Once I removed my email address from the  Automatic complete in TO  inthe email,  I was able to type my email in and it worked. Thank you
