Service desk not accepting attachments from OSX clients
It appears that every/any attachment is being rolled up into a winmail.dat file once it hits KACE. Attachments from Windows clients work as expected. Any thoughts?

So, the original report of success came from a third person. I have since checked and it turns out, they assumed it would fix the issue - but it did not.
so, as it turns out, we still have the same issue. Outlook 2011, when sending email to KACE service desk, is unable to send attachments. All attachments from the OSX clients is dumped into a winmail.dat file.
Any more ideas? - matthall 11 years ago -
since the users have already sent email to the kbox you may have to reset the format for individual kbox address for the effected users:
•Search for the desired contact in your Outlook Contacts.
•Double-click the contact's email address. •Alternatively, click on the desired email address with the right mouse button and select Outlook Properties... from the menu.
•Make sure either Let Outlook decide the best sending format or Send Plain Text only is selected under Internet format:.
•Click OK. - SMal.tmcc 11 years ago
