Hallo!
 
I am using Pegasus since 20 years and it is working fine. Just now on 4.61 under Vista on my main computer. I get emails daily from about 15 different companies and all works well except one. For one specific company the attachments arrives in a corrupted format as a file names winmail.dat.
 
I had this years ago from another company as well but then it suddenly went away.
 
Any suggestions on what could be wrong - anything I can do at my end to fix this or??

There is an add on for Pegasus called Fentun.exe which will extract these attachments.  As I understand it these files should only be sent internally but many exchange installations are incorrectly set up and send them externally.  the file format is a microsoft thing.
