HT1338 pdf attachments and excel spreadsheet attachments are opening as winmail.dat and the pages are blank when you open them.

All of a sudden the e-mail attachments I send to my MacBook Pro from my PC Laptop open up as winmail.dat as a blank sheet of paper.   This only started happening within the last week. Before that everything was fine.  I check my PC and confirmed the attachments are set up to be sent in HTML.   Any suggestions?

I am having the same issue.
Luckily I have only migrated my own mailbox to office365.
Tried both true and false TNEFEnabled on both onpremise and office365 via powershell and confirmed that both have been applied.
If I send the email as a plain text then the attachment works ok. If I send it as HTML then I get winmail.dat.
The above KB doesnt really help me, sending plain text emails is like going back to the dark ages!
I am sending from outlook to outlook (I send from my external email address, to my work email address and visa-versa)
If someone with an onpremise mailbox sends me an email, the attachment works ok.
If someone sends me an attachment via hotmail, the attachment works ok.
It seems to only effect emails I send to myself through outlook, i am sending it through a POP3 account to our onpremise exchange 2010 which forwards the email to office365

    I changed my Apple ID (other email address and password) and now I can not login to my account in the iPhone iCloud. When I open the tab iCloud displayed my old Apple ID (it was in the iCloud) and asks for a password, but neither the old nor the new password does not match. What to do?

    If you want to change your iCloud ID or password on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated information.  Note: this only deletes the account and any synced data from your phone, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

  • I filled in a Word pdf document, sent it to a client who uses Word in Windows 7 and the form appears blank when they open it. They can read the form, but nothing that I filled in. Help!

    I was sent a lengthy pdf form that required me to enter data onto it. The sentences appeared compressed on my screen, but I could see everything that I entered. Next emailed it to my boss and when he opened it on his Windows 7 with Word, all of the data that I had entered appeared lost. It was as if I hadn't entered anything on the form. So I asked him to send it back to me. He did and when I opened it on my Mac Book Air, all of the information that I had filled in was there on my screen.
    This went back and forth a few times, but the result was always the same. I have been requested to complete the form on a Windows based computer, which will take me hours. Any ideas what causes this problem and how to fix it?

    What has this to do with Pages? You probably did this in Preview.

  • I recently purchased an Iphone 6plus and I am receiving pdf attachments that are shown as winmail.dat attachments on the phone. When I check e-mail via  my macbook pro the attachment is a pdf and I can open it. Why is this happening?

    I recently purchased an Iphone 6plus and I am receiving pdf attachments that are shown as winmail.dat attachments on the iphone. When I check the same e-mail on my macbook pro the attachment is a pdf and I can open it. Why is this happening?

    I had this problem too after i upgdatd to OS X Mavericks... only the songs on my iphone 5s that i purchased from itunes would play.
    i read something about it being a syncing issue. when you plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable, the person said to switch from automatic syncing of itunes to the "manual" option. mine was already set to manual so i wasn't sure anything would work. BUT, when i plugged my phone into my computer, it started to sync all of my music on my phone again (top of itunes bar where song playing/time is listed said "now syncing 123/534 songs to x's iphone"). once that was completed, i checked the music app on my iphone and everything was back to normal!
    so, i would suggest setting your music syncing settings to manual if you haven't tried that yet!
    hope this helps!

  • Can no longer open Excel spreadsheets attachments.

    I have recently upgraded to iOS 5 on my iphone4 and 3GS and can no longer open Excel spreadsheets attachments from my Hotmail. They come up as an E (which I think is Evernote). I don't want to use Evernote, I just want to view them as I could before. Even simple spreadsheets come as this annoying E when I try to open them. Everything worked fine before I did the iOS 5 upgrade and went with the cloud. I've no idea how to this happend or how to solve it.
    Can anyone please help?
    Regards

    Generally if this happens the thing I have found to do is to quit the application and then restart the application by clicking on one of the files (like the ones in your documnets folder), not by starting the application and using the open command. Doing this immediately will usually solve the problem.
    This could also be an indication of some sort of file or disk corruption so I would recommend that you not only check the disk using Disk Utility from the CD but also checking your disk permissions just to be sure. Instructions for doing so can be found in steps one and two here: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/repairprocess.html
    If the first two steps don't solve the problem then you might as well go to step three, otherwise stop with one and two.
    If you have backups and cannot get the files to open then your only other choice will be to restore from the backup copies. Either way I would make sure that my disk was healthy, by following the above noted steps, before doing the restore, otherwise you may corrupt the restored copy.
    Good Luck and let us know if this helps!!

    Is this a particular sender, or all of your attchments?  Google winmail.dat and you will see a number of returns that can explain this, but in short, this is the way some e mail providers deal with attachments.  If all of your e mail is coming that way, you need to change a setting on your isp set up.  Perhaps stary here...

  • Getting "Cannot Insert Object" message while attaching .pdf file to excel spreadsheet.

    While I am trying to attach an adobe (.pdf) file in excel spreadsheet I am getting message as “Cannot Insert Object”.
    I am following the below mentioned steps and getting message as “Cannot Insert Object”.
    Open the adobe (.pdf) file from IE browser.
    While saving the adobe file on local machine it gives warning as “This document does not allow you to save any changes you have made to it unless you are using Adobe Acrobat 9, Pro 9 or Pro Extended 9.  You will only be saving a copy of the original document.  Do you want to continue?” On pressing "OK" it successfully saves the file on my local machine.
    While I Tried to attach the saved adobe file in a spreadsheet of excel it gives message as “Cannot Insert Object”.
    Does any one have any thoughts at all as to how to solve this?

    Deepika,
    The alert dialog your screen shot depicts will only display if there is some kind of form annotation present in a PDF that is not "Reader Enabled".
    Look closer at your 'final' PDF.
    A PDF, not "Reader Enabled", that contains any form annotations will, when opened by Adobe Reader,
    result in the alert dialog that you mention. A "hard wired" default.
    Note that the forms document message bar can be "off" by a selection in Adobe Reader / Acrobat Preferences.
    Select the 'Forms' category. Select "Always hide forms document message bar".
    Be well...

  • Some users are experiencing difficulty opening certain docx files sent as email attachments. These files contain content controls to protect data in the document. Could someone please confirm that the content controls are the reason the files won't open.

  • PDF conversion to Excel spreadsheet not working properly

    Winmail.data are not usable files. They just preserve RTF within the message.

    I have a password protected excel spreadsheet, how can I get my iPads and iPhones to read this and save it password protected?

    Documents to Go says that it, "Opens password protected Excel 97-2008 files", but does not say whether it can save them as "password protected".
    This might work for you.

  • I have many Word Docx and Excel spreadsheets. Can I transfer my PC docs and sreadsheets to the iPad, or will I have to buy additional software to have complete sync between my PC and iPad?

    Can the ipad 2 sync with my PC docs and spreadsheets?
    I am considering the purchase of the iPad 2, but I have mant docs and spreadsheets from years/decades of PC use.
    Can I sync (upload my docs) from my PC to the iPad?
    P.S. I know nothing about computers.

    Thanks, Demo.  You are right about iCloud, but it didn't work for me.  I discovered the reason was a conflict with how my my mobileme account was setup ... a problem many others seemed to have.  Apparantly both mobileme and icloud were attempting to back up my data, and mobileme turned off iCloud from Numbers setting every time I opened a spreadsheet. Once I deleted my mobileme account, icloud worked as it should. Appreciate your help.  It got me to look for and solve the underlying problem.

  • Copying word.doc and excell spreadsheets

    I just bought a new Curve 8330.
    Can I copy word.docs and excell spreadsheets to my Blackberry?
    If so, how?
    Thank you for any help you may give me.
    Gordon

    Yes, you can.
    1. You can email the files to yourself and from the BlackBerry device, download to your Media Card.
    2. You can set the Media Card to Mass Storage Support, and move the documents from your PC to the BlackBerry while connected to the PC via the USB cable.
    See this:  http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/How_do_I_add_media_files_to_my_microSD_card%3F
    Now, if you have OS 5.0 on your device, (Look at Options > About, third line down beginning with a "v.4.xxx") you will have DocumentsToGo and WordToGo and SheetsToGo installed on your device (look in the Applications folder).
