yup, I still have a few computers running OS 9.2.2, and for the most part they work they're just very slow.

This morning I ran across a problem with an employee who got a PDF attachment from a client, but could not open it. He is using Outlook Express for his email, and the email with the PDFs attached shows up an as email with a winmail.dat attachment that is 300+ kb. I know the PDF I want is in the winmail.dat file, I just can't open it.

Another thing to consider, the same email was CCed to an employee using OS X (10.3 i believe), and the PDFs show up fine.

Any suggestions on how I can get around this problem, replacing this particular OS 9.2 box is not an option yet.

Thanks in advance.
