Got it in one! :-)

By the way - this page>>>> http://expita.com/nomime.html
explains how to correctly set up all of the most popular email programs
currently in use.  This includes how to set up MS emailers to NOT send
winmail.dat.  

Specifically: http://expita.com/nomime.html#winmail tells how to turn off
winmail.dat.

At last count it had 48 entries in its list of treatable email clients.  To
view that list, go to the URL and page down 3 screens. (maybe more screens
on some systems.)
