hi,

sorry, this was not a precise info

by not working i meant, that attchment extraction of richtext/html mails does create a directory, but does not extract the document but rather a winmail.dat file. independent of what attachment i have. i tried pdfs, and worddocs.

kind regards,

Oliver

Thanks for the clarification.

Unfortunately if you are using Outlook's proprietary mail format then Alfresco does not yet have the code to unwrap it. As you have seen it is a known issue that is being worked on.

There is an option in Outlook to send "standard" rfc822 email messages which may help.

hey guys,

i am pretty sure, that this works, because i could change exchange server settings concerning winmail.dat, and html mails. i'll keep you up2date. for my first tests it looks promising, that using those outlook/exchange setting you can cover this issue, on my setup. exchange 2003/outlook2010

cheers, Oliver
