Hi Tom, et al,

This OSX system-level compression feature is very cool. I love it!  
Need to spend bit more time exploring OSX and less time working...  
lol! (Not to imply you are mostly playing... :-)

Thanks to everyone else who gave solutions/tips for the winmail.dat  
issue. The RTF format part of the problem sounds familiar from some  
limited research I did, and always seemed weird to me. Doesn't Apple  
Mail compose messages in RTF format? Well, if it solves the problem,  
I'll be happy.

Thanks so much!
Kimo
