Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
Hi
I've converted to Ubuntu from Windows but that doesn't mean everyone
else has done so. Contrary to some forum discussion, it would be ill
advised to tell them all to turn off tnef or not write emails in Word.
Therefore there is a bug in Evolution, it cannot read winmail.dat file
attachments. I can see a plug in for it but it doesn't seem to be
working. I should think this is a fundamental functionality into
Evolution, in order to smooth out transition from Outlook for instance.
If not, can anyone advise me work arounds in order to read over 40
winmail.dat files received this week. Thanks
Mike
