Email Tranmission Problem

Hello friends,

Im gonna get right to the point. Everytime my friend send out an email
containing an attachment in .doc format, the recepient receives it in .dat
format. Could you all tell my why? and most importantly, what can be done to
stop this from happening?

Thanks in advance,

Try zipping the file and sending as an attachment. One of the mail
servers is not handling the .doc file correctly. Some mail server
antivirus software will block all .doc file because of macro virus
problems.
