For some reason, now all attachments sent from my W2K machine via
outlook are received by Entourage X as "winmail.dat" which can't
appear to be opened by Entourage X. Any suggestions for configuration
changes on either end to fix this?

Outlook has been known to send in its proprietary Rich Text Format, which
Entourage and other e-mail clients do not understand. That's why you
receive the message. By configuring Outlook to send in HTML or plain text
format, you should avoid this problem. There is also a free utility
available to open these files.
