[wellylug] avoid mailers that generate winmail.dat attachments :)

[Michael Dittmer]

I should think that my time clock is correct since it syncs off my server
which gets it's time from the Massey Atomic Clock (ntp.massey.ac.nz)

Sorry to all if you think my post was a bit harsh, having re-read it, it
doesn't sound a bit harsh. It's just how I feel on the issue.

Erm, what exactly are these winmail.dat attachments?
I've never come across them. Certainly not bothering me then, however
people(in 
general, not the person who I'm reply too:)) who send emails twice or have
the 
wrong time on their computers do.
