OFF: win.dat (was Re: HW : Name)

[Peter Sondergeld]

Can any technically minded person explain what this is and why this happens?
There's someone on another list I'm on who has a win.dat attached to EVERY
post, and they've apologised profusely and frequently, saying that their
computing people are unable to stop it happening. Their best guess, as I
remember, is something to do with a problem between their mail software and
Windows95. Any ideas? I think they, and everyone else, would appreciate the
help.
Pete.
