I have ActiveSync 4.2.0 and it is giving me a lot of trouble with WINMAIL.DAT files. I will start from the beginning...
I recently realised that some friends cannot read my emails with attachments sento from my laptop with Outlook 2003. After a long search I realised that in the general Outlook options the mail format was set to "Let Outlook decide" but for every single contact the email properties were set to "Send as RTF". So I started changing back to "Let Outlook decide" for every contact, just to realise that, after a sync betweem Outlook and my PPC the winmail.dat problem came back again. So I went to check and, guess what: all the contacts that I had modified and had to be syncronised, got set back to "Send as RTF".
So, it looks like ActiveSync is setting by default, for every contact syncronised, the sending format to RTF, whatever is the value of the property in Outlook.
Any idea?
