I scanned some documents and emailed them to myself. The file that was created in .pdf was change to .dat in my email. Now i cant view my docs that i scanned. Is there a solution for this?
Try settin the mail format for Outlook to Plain Text, and then resend the PDF attachment.
To set the mail format:
1. Start Outlook, and choose Tools > Options.2. Select the Mail Format tab.
3. Choose Plain Text from the Compose in This Message Format pop-up menu.
4. Click Apply, and then click OK.
If you compose messages in Microsoft Outlook as rich text, attachments are sent as a winmail.dat files. If you compose messages as plain text, attachments are sent in their intended formats, such as PDF.
