I have an odd situation happening and I am not sure if it is a Windows 7 issue or not.

We are using Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5.2 in our environment. I have one user that was recently upgraded to Windows 7 Enterprise. Prior to Windows 7, when the user received an email from an outside source, email attachments were received fine. However, this morning, this user has received an email from this source, and when they opened the email, there was a Winmail.dat attachment. The same email went to two other users in my organization (running Windows XP and the same version of Lotus Notes 8.5.2), and they were able to see the message, and attachments fine.

Is this a Windows 7 issue? Or is there something else I can look at for potential client settings?
